  • Just days before everything shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Brendan Benson was putting together his touring rig to support his new album, Dear Life. Benson was cool enough to open up his Nashville studio to Premier Guitar’s John Bohlinger to sit in on the process and extract the new details on both his live and studio setups not seen in the 2014 episode.

Especially when I remember I only spent $300 for it new during a sale at GC. It's very vibrant for mahogany and I really think that has to do with it not being solid.

    I love the look of that EchoPark. I recently bought a new ( old stock ) 2017 Epi Lee Malia RD Artisan ( don't scoff at it being Epi, these things are made unique in Indo and assembled in the US just as great if not better than my Gibson ) and it has the same pup combination. A Gibson USA 84TLM humbucker in the bridge and a Gibson USA P94 in the neck. Also has a dummy coil built in the middle to cancel hum from the P90 and split humbucker. I absolutely love those pickup combinations tho, endless tones. I'm glad alot of manufactures are taking up on that combo now. You get the best of both worlds. Looked up that model of EchoPark tho and they're $7000 😅😩 They look and sound great tho! Brendan killed it on his new album too! So good.

    10:00 He might explain it. If there is a run of the mill Fender sitting around, Bollinger will gloss over the D'Angelico as fast as possible and start asking about the Fender, as if nobody knows what a Fender is about. You can already tell Bollinger is super bored. He's probably thinking "Where's the Fenders? Where's the Gibsons? Get me out of here! This sux!" He started grabbing at that blue tele looking guitar and you could see the disappointment wash across his face when he realized it wasn't a Fender. He was grabbing at it for like a minute because he thought it was a Fender. "Ahh, not a Fender, let's talk about something else."
