Ronnie Earl's Guitars
We got the lowdown on Earl’s stage and studio equipment from his road manager, Dave Clark. “Ronnie has three pre-CBS Fender Stratocasters: a ’57 sunburst, a ’59 blonde, and a ’62 fiesta red named Mahalia—after Mahalia Jackson.
Oh, it wasn’t anything too fancy—nothing like an 000-45, just a plain old D-18. I bought it one day and then returned it the very next day for the Strat. Because it was electric, it gave me instant access to this whole other world of sounds, and, obviously, the ability to play in a band and be heard and bend strings. All of a sudden, the world was a very different place, and I’ve been playing and loving Strats ever since.
In terms of acoustics, Ronnie has some guitars by Martin and Collings—a C10 and a Parlor 1 T. But give him even the least expensive Squier and he’ll sound every bit as good. The tone is in his hands.
