Steve Gunn

"I mostly play a Guild guitar—a D-35 from 1970. I like these guitars because I’m pretty much a Craigslist-gear-bargain guy—though I do have an expensive electric that was custom made for me. I’m afraid to get a really valuable acoustic for the amount of touring I do—I’d be afraid to kick it around. Guilds are perfect for me: They’re well built but not expensive, and they sound so good and are especially easy to come by in the Northeast. I’ve been using them for a long time and will definitely continue to do so. "

“Guitar wise, I used a new Fender American Professional Jaguar through a vintage Fender Princeton amp. There are a few songs that feature some wah leads on the album, and these effects were my primary set up for that. This is the first song on the album, and I wanted to establish this sound early on by cutting this lead at the end. The smaller Princeton amp breaks up nicely, along with the wah with a cranked overdrive, and a bit of compression is a sound that runs throughout the album.”
