Soccer Mommy

The Casio SK-1 is presented front and center on Soccer Mommy's "Collection" album artwork. Pitchfork Review "An occasional stab of synthesizer is the closest these songs come to pomp, and the production is still scruffy around the edges, hi-fi only by the standards of her early self-recordings."

Soccer Mommy can be seen playing the Fender Jaguar in this Primavera Sound Festival set in 2019 (Barcelona, Spain). The guitar is also mentioned in December 2022 issue of Guitar World.

In the tweet linked, Soccer Mommy received her Novo Serus J in 2019. She talked briefly about the guitar in 2020 guitar.com interview.

There is a new guitar challenging the ’94 Strat for prominence in Allison’s collection, built in her home city, Dennis Fano’s Nashville company providing a custom-made Novo Serus J in her favoured Purple Sparkle finish. The dazzling offset has a bespoke fretboard etching that reads “Gemini bitch”. I was scrolling on Instagram one day and saw a Purple Sparkle Novo,” Allison explains, “and was like, ‘Wow, I want this guitar’. I contacted Novo and they’d already sold it, but they said they’d make me one. I came up with the idea to get an engraving on the fretboard, which they’d never done before. They did it in this super-cool Buffy font, and it’s the coolest thing in my entire house. Those guitars sound so amazing and the Mastery bridge is fantastic. It’s hard to go back to any of my guitars that don’t have one now. I was never one to use the whammy bar, but now I’ve got the Mastery bridge I use it every two seconds because it can bend so far and still stay in tune. It’s become a necessity. I love the tone, it cuts way more than the other guitars I have. It’s got P-90s in, and a really nice sharp tone. A lot of the stuff on Color Theory sounds so much better with a lot more cut.

In a 1994 model photo shared on Tumblr, Soccer Mommy is seen with a Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster.

Her new acoustic guitar, named "Allison", mentioned in the December 2022 issue of Guitar World, where she was interviewed about her guitar. Quite possibly as a replacement of the Recording King Soccer Mommy used earlier.

On Sometimes, Forever Allison alternated between her reliable Strat, a ’94 Custom Shop model, plus two custom Novo Serus Js, alongside acoustic tracking with a 1964 Gibson LG-2 and a few interjections from her Jaguar. With two lead players in her band – Julian Powell and Rodrigo Avendano – Allison studiously handled a lot of rhythm work and limited her gear in pursuit of consistency. “I was keeping it pretty similar to kind of pull the sound together a little bit,” she says.

(Though the model is unspecified, Soccer Mommy regularly uses smaller JC-40 amps instead of JC-120.)

Allison and Lopatin also avoided going down the DI route, instead using a tour-tested combination of a Fender Princeton, a Silvertone amp and a Roland Jazz Chorus, which was employed for a lot of the acoustic flavours. “I didn’t want to rent a bunch of things because I think the goal for this album was to capture what we actually sound like playing together,” Allison says. “We click and that’s something that I personally think is really fun to hear, when you can tell that the band is playing off each other.”

In the YouTube video, recorded 4 June 2024, Soccer Mommy (Sophia Allison) can be seen using the Novo Guitars IDRIS S3 Sonic Blue. (She's joined by Phoebe Bridgers, singing The Biggest Lie (Elliot Smith cover))
