Seth Avett

Live, you just use the (SM)58, because that’s it. You can’t kill it. The thing cannot be killed. So we use those every night.

In my own studio, or if we’re working on an Avett Brothers record, I use a Shure (SM)7B for vocals.

Built in collaboration with Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers, a high-altitude Swiss spruce top is featured for the top of this 14-fret Dreadnought. Harvested in winter months to produce a lighter-weight wood with better stiffness, this wood features a tight and even grain. This guitar also sports three-piece back composed of East Indian rosewood with a flamed koa center wedge. Seth himself designed the copper snowflake inlay placed in this guitar's ebony fretboard.

For a few years now I’ve been very consistent with a 1956 Gibson 225.

Then I got that ’77 D-35, and that was it. Gear problem solved, right there. That’s what we did. It’s all been kind of haphazard and trial and error, but there really haven’t been that many trials or errors from my beginnings with acoustic music.

They mentioned that they currently tour with a guitar given to Seth from Chris Cornell (“It has the mojo all over it”) and opened each show the week following his passing with “Black Hole Sun.”

The guitar was a gift to Seth Avett from Chris Cornell. Seth states that he gave one of his signature Martin guitars to Chris and Chris gave him one of his signature Gibson ES-335s.

Or the equivalent 2x12 Orange. That’s pretty much it

I run it through one of these Marshall Bluesbreaker reissues

For a few years now I’ve been very consistent with a 1956 Gibson 225. I run that through, at the moment, a Guyatone Overdrive. The majority of shows I’ve played recently I’ve used that orange Guyatone Overdrive.

We have a Yamaha CP-33 that we travel with that seems to do well. It has a pretty good grand piano sound on it, and it’s not the most expensive one you can get by any means. Just a standard road piano.

I have a Sony PCM D-50 field recorder. It has two mics you can position in different positions. I use the hell out of that thing. It completely revolutionized my traveling life. I take it with me wherever I go. On this three-week European run we’re on now, it’s the first time I’ve taken a Pro Tools setup with me. That’s for more dedicated and serious work, but that field recorder, I never leave without it.
