Van Mccann

Ryan 'Van' McCann of Catfish and the Bottlemen's custom American Standard Telecaster. During the performance of Cocoon at Glastonbury, the High E string broke, causing Van to throw the guitar across the stage at the end of the song.

In this photo, Van Mccann can be seen playing a Squier Jim Root Telecaster.

Van uses this guitar during several live radio performances of songs done in anticipation of their second album "The Ride".

In this video you can see Van using the Fender Sonoran however he has the 3/4 size model which does not feature the single cutaway the the full size sonoran has

OBVIOUSLY this being Van McCann, he's using the charcoal transparent model of this guitar, not the honeyburst. Van using a guitar that's not black? Don't be f*cking stupid, even he knows once you go black you never go back. But anyway, during this set at Glastonbury 2015, one of the strings on his customised American Standard Telecaster (which, yet again, is all black - and a Telecaster...) decided to be a right twat and snap during the performance of 'Cocoon'. So for the next and final song of the set 'Tyrants', Van uses, which is evidently his back up, a Fender Modern Player Plus Telecaster in charcoal transparent. How is it evident that he is in fact using this guitar and not another customised one? Well, the humbucker at the bridge matched with two single coil pickups are both immediately notable. The lacquered, maple neck is another feature I noticed. The classical tuning machines and gold 'Fender' font on the headstock are yet again seen on the Modern Player Plus which are also on this guitar. Sadly I can't find any quotes of him saying that he uses this guitar, but it matches up perfectly. Anyway, if you watch between 3:13 and 3:16 in the video, you can notice all the features for yourself - despite the low quality.

He used it to play cover of a song "I will never let you down" by Rita Ora

Van Mccan can be seen using this Gibson J-45 in Triple J's 'Like a Version' sessions.

Van can be seen playing a Takamine EG360SC when playing an acoustic set for the song off the Balcony 'Kathleen'. This was recorded for Ibiza Rocks festival.

in the official video for the single "soundcheck" Van can be seen playing this guitar at the beginning of the video.

Van used this guitar in a early version of "Tyrants" at a gig in the Camden Barfly in London on October of 2011

In this version of broken army Van Mccann is seen playing a white Fender Stratocaster with maple neck

You need to Pause the video dead on 54 seconds orm slightly before to see it in his hands. It looks as tho he has covered up the brand name and removed the white pick guard as well. However this is still the same model.

The Taylor 600-series can clearly be seen in the video, it's hard to distinguish between the 614ce and the 612ce but my guess due to the larger body size is the 614ce.

In this session with Jim Eno for Spotify Live Sessions, Van is pictured playing a White Gibson SG Custom. Unsure on the year of the guitar. The music from this session can be accessed from the link provided or just by viewing their discography on Spotify and it is listed with their singles as ‘Spotify Sessions’. Unsure whether it is his guitar as he is known for only playing telecasters.

In the Boatshed Sessions video titled "Catfish And The Bottlemen - Kathleen," Van McCann is seen playing a Walden D550CE Acoustic Guitar.

In this YouTube video of Catfish and the Bottlemen performing at Manchester Arena, Van McCann can be seen playing the Fender PD-220E Dreadnought throughout the song “Hourglass”.
