Rig Rundowns

Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/keith-urban Subscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTube The muti-Grammy winning country guitar hero is going sans pedalboard this time around as he cranks up on stages across the country. New Zealand’s number one country guitar export—and November 2024 Premier Guitar cover model—Keith Urban rolled into Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center last month, so John Bohlinger and the Rig Rundown team drove up to meet him. Urban travels with a friendly crew of vintage guitars, so there was much to see and play. In fact, so much that they ran out of time after getting through the axes! Later, Bohli and Co. met up with Urban tech Chris Miller to wrap their heads around the rest of the straightforward pedal-free rig he’s rockin’ this summer. Last year, Urban released High, his 12th studio record, so you’ll be sure to catch those tunes and more in his extensive jam-friendly sets. Here’s a look at what Keith is bringing with him to stages across the U.S., including a prototype signature PRS to vintage Gibsons and a pair of heavy-lifting Marshalls. 0:00 - Joe Glaser & D'Addario 0:15 - Keith Urban Playing Intro 0:35 - Subscribe to Rig Rundowns! 0:49 - John Bohlinger Intro 1:04 - PRS Keith Urban Prototype 3:51 - 1989 Fender Custom 40th Anniversary Telecaster "Clarence" 4:29 - PRS Custom with Wooden Truss Rod 7:50 - 1964 Fender Strat 8:56 - No Distortion Pedals -- Using Marshall Super Lead for Gain 9:38 - Novo Solus 10:45 - 1972 Fender Mustang Bass 12:29 - 1964 Gibson SG Junior 14:21 - 1952 Gibson Les Paul 16:10 - Taking Vintage Guitars on the Road 17:44 - Maton Mini Maton Diesel EMD6 19:37 - Keith Urban & D'Addario 20:07 - Keith Urban Tech Chris Miller Intro 20:36 - Keith Urban's Picks & Strings 24:25 - Late 1970s Marshall JMP Super Leads 100W 27:03 - 1970s Marshall 4x12 with Celestion G12H-150 Redback Speakers 29:05 - Acoustic Sciences Corporation Speaker Baffles (from Pete Townsend) 32:46 - Powering Keith's Rig 34:57 - What Amps Did Keith Use on Previous Tours? 37:11 - Signal Chain & Pedalboard (Not Being Used) 43:40 - Rack Gear (Fractal, Marshall JMP-1 Power Amp, Acme Audio Motown Preamp DI) 49:20 - D'Addario Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/keith-urban Subscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTube Win Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPG Don't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENL Merch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.com PG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitar PG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/ PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitar PG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitar PG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar [Brought to you by D’Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr] © Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2025 #guitar #rigrundown #keithurban #guitarist #guitarplayer #guitargear

It’s been just over 10 years since we had legendary South Bend, Indiana, jam band Umphrey’s McGee on Rig Rundown, so when we saw that they were coming to play at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium in early April, we figured it was time to reconnect. Guitarists Jake Cinninger and Brendan Bayliss showed PG’s John Bohlinger what pieces of kit they’re digging these days, and how they orchestrate their incredibly broad range of sounds.

This year, Person is road-doggin’ it around the United States as a two-piece unit with just a drummer, and PG’s Chris Kies caught up with him before he and Shull played the Eastside Bowl in Madison, Tennessee, to see what goods Person is bringing for this spring’s shows. 0:00 - D’Addario 0:15 - Zach Person Playing Intro 0:54 - Chris Kies Intro 2:41 - Custom Shop ’63 Reissue SG Les Paul Custom 8:54 - ’67 Gibson SG Special 15:17 - “Jeanie” ’57 Gibson LG-1 21:02 - D’Addario 21:52 - Marshall JTM45 24:04 - Pedal Board 24:06 - JHS Packrat 24:40 - Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer 27:35 - Strymon El Capistan 28:10 - Boss TU-3 Tuner 28:45 - Boss BF-2 Flanger 29:41 - Digitech Drop 30:56 - Earthquaker Devices Hoof Reaper 31:51 - Interstellar Audio Machines Marsling Octafuzzdrive 32:14 - Vox Wah 32:47 - TC Helicon Mic Mechanic 34:03 - AmpRX Brown Box 39:09 - “If 6 Was 9” Hendrix Cover 42:01 - D’Addario [Brought to you by D’Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr & D'Addario XPND: https://ddari.io/xpnd.rr] © Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2025 #guitar #rigrundown #guitarist #guitarplayer #guitargear #zachperson

Between being one of the most prolific YouTubers in the guitar sphere, working as a trusted hired gun, and creating his own original music, including last year’s EP The Early Days, he’s an avid cyclist. Just a week before we met up with Rhett at Eastside Bowl in Madison, Tennessee, for this Rig Rundown, he was slated to ride a 100-mile race in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Those plans were dashed when 70-mile-an-hour winds stoked a wildfire near town and burned just over 26,000 acres. But the show must go on: The next night, Shull played a gig in town, a special release for people reeling from a brutal natural disaster. Shull’s a certified gear aficionado and tone wizard, so PG’s Chris Kies headed to Eastside Bowl to have him walk us through his current live rig.

Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/vundabar Visit Grimey's: https://www.grimeys.com/ A pair of Fender amps and a custom-built Baranik helped the Boston band’s guitarist come back from a broken arm. When Brandon Hagen broke his arm a few years ago, his life changed in an instant. He’d been fronting Boston indie rock outfit Vundabar since 2013, and suddenly, he was unable to do the things he’d built his life around. Recovery came, in part, in the form of a custom guitar prototype built by Mike Baranik of Baranik Guitars. Hagen deconstructed and rehabilitated his relationship to the 6-string on that instrument, an experience that led to Vundabar’s sixth LP, Surgery and Pleasure, released on March 7. On tour supporting the record, the band appeared at Grimey’s in Nashville for a performance on March 11, and PG’s Chris Kies caught up with Hagen to hear about his journey and learn what tools the guitarist has brought on the road. As Hagen tells it, his setup is less about expertise and received wisdom, and more about “intuitive baby mode”—going with what feels and sounds good in the moment.

Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst have been making music as Shovels & Rope since 2008. The husband-and-wife duo from South Carolina specialize in rootsy, bluesy rock, Americana, and alt-country, but they don’t confine themselves to traditional two-piece arrangements. They switch off on vocal, guitar, percussion, and synth duty throughout their shows, orchestrating a full-band ruckus with all available limbs. Their seventh full-length, Something Is Working Up Above My Head, released in September last year, and while touring in support of it, they stopped at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl in late February.

Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/phantogram Subscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTube Along with contemporaries like MGMT and Passion Pit, Greenwich, New York, duo Phantogram’s experiments crosspollinating hip-hop, indie, and punk rock helped cement and elevate a new era of electronic-influenced alt-rock and indie music. At the start of the 2010s, you’d be hard-pressed to find a college radio station or dorm-room playlist that didn’t include a Phantogram hit. Sixteen years after the release of their debut record, band leaders Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel, who started Phantogram in a town of just a few thousand people, are touring behind their latest full-length, 2024’s Memory of a Day. The tour included a sold-out stop at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium—a different sort of barn than the kind they used to perform in back in Greenwich—where PG’s John Bohlinger caught up with Carter and Barthel. Courtesy of some help from their tech, the duo showed us how they’re pulling off their theatrical live experience.
