Wesley Schultz

In the first few seconds of this video, Wesley can be seen playing a Guild X-50.

"When we started out, I used to play a Yamaha SG 150 acoustic. I’m a really huge fan of those guitars,’ he says. ‘My mom played one, although I hated it at first when I’d just started playing because it had a fat neck and it was kind of hard to hold down the strings. Then I found a small-bodied version, and I used that forever." – Wesley Schultz in an interview with Acoustic Magazine (2013)

Wesley can be seen in this image playing a Martin 0-18 Acoustic Guitar.

In this photo, Schultz is visible playing Gibson Hummingbird.

“After trying a lot of different brands and styles of acoustic pickups, The LR Baggs M1 soundhole pickup sounds closest to what my guitar sounds like naturally/unplugged – it sounds most natural and warm of any pickup I've used.” - Schultz in an article on lrbaggs.com

In the YouTube video "The Lumineers // Live in New Orleans // Full Concert," Wesley Schultz uses the Blue Bottle Rocket Stage 1 microphone for vocals and ambient sound during the performance.

In this video, Schultz can be seen using the Epiphone Century.

Wesley Schultz of The Lumineers is shown using Jim Dunlop Tortex Custom "The Lumineers" Guitar Picks in a photo posted by the band on Instagram, expressing excitement about using them.

At the Positivus Festival, I caught a Dunlop Thumbpick Medium from Wesley Schultz, confirming its use during the performance.

In this video (July 2016) Schultz can be seen using a silver Kyser's on his Guild.

Wesley Schultz is confirmed to use a 1968 Guild T-50 Semi-Hollow - Sunburst guitar, as evidenced by a video from KEXP where the guitar's body thickness of 2 inches visibly distinguishes it from the X-50 model, which is 3 inches thick. Additionally, Stealth Ulvang from The Lumineers verified this information via Instagram on September 29, 2025. It is important to note that although Wesley uses his T-50 for all studio (non-acoustic guitar) songs, the album "III" features an acoustically recorded Guild X-50.
