Drew Shirley of Switchfoot did a pre-soundcheck hang with PG’s John Bohlinger at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium. Shirley’s straight-ahead approach to gear and music has driven Switchfoot’s sound since 2003.
Drew Shirley tours exclusively with Elliott guitars. His No. 1 is a collaboration with the North Carolina-based company dubbed the Royal Haven. It embodies the classic power of a Les Paul Junior with the look of an Epiphone Coronet. The pickups are Elliott’s own P-90s and Shirley strings the guitar up with a set of Ernie Ball .011s.
The idea behind Shirley’s two-amp setup is that he wants one to have lots of headroom and the other to sound like it could blow up at any minute. The 65Amps London is an 18-watt amp that Shirley uses on tunes that require cleaner tones and offers plenty of headroom while the Revival 8E1 is a 5-watt combo that is always on 10 and on the verge of breaking down (in the best way possible). The London feeds a Revival 2x12 open-back cabinet that houses blue and green Celestion speakers.

Man, I love John Bohlinger, he seems so excited on every rig run down he does. Gotta love his genuine excitement, it really shows on camera.
this guy would come into the restaurant I used to work at in north county san diego. absolutely the nicest guy. I never worked up the courage to introduce myself, but really a good guy.
Seen him play so many times. He's always so concentrated on his tone and doesn't let any note go untouched. He works his hardest to give his heart through every chord and every strum. Humble humble man. Love you Drew.
not a huge swtichfoot fan but he seems like one of the nicest cool guitarists i have seen on rig rundown
I have had the chance to hang with Drew after a couple different shows over the years, and he really truly is awesome. Extraordinarily talented to boot. Have you had the chance to listen to their newest record, "Where the Light Shines Through"? It's a change of pace for them and makes for a great listen. If you haven't, songs to check out on it are: "Float" (it's got an insane bass line), "Holy Water", "Where The Light Shines Through" (title track), and "Bull in a China Shop".
Their live show is pretty fantastic
I've been a fan of Drew's since the 90's with his previous band. I was so fortunate to meet him when they came by our town. After their small, intimate concert, he came out to meet everyone and even signed my guitar. He was super chill and gave everyone time even though he was definitely jetlagged! 100% genuine.
All of those guys are waaaaaayyyyyyy too much underrated as players and artists !
Could not agree more. But then again, they did win a Grammy for a reason.
I dont know. playing pentatonic solos with bendings is not so original
@@voicelikemanywaters1017 found the idiot guys!
Switchfoot is great. Cool to see Drew featured on one of these episodes. Thanks for sharing.
Words to live by by Drew at the end: be inspired, play well, have fun!
So stoked to see my friend Drew finally get a Rig Rundown video!
Guitars aside, I'm incredibly impressed by Drew's retro 80's look...those cuffed jeans and sneakers speak volumes for squares everywhere....
please do a rig rundown of Jon foreman
I had such an awesome moment with him at the show on friday. Such a cool dude. My favorite band for sure
Did you guys do TIm Foreman as well? He's probably one of the most underrated bass players, ever..
Sorry, Edison, the only band member that wanted to participate was the eager Drew Shirley.
:'((
Premier Guitar - that sucks to hear :( - I was hoping John Foreman would do a rundown.
I'm sure they were focused on the show for that night, they've been touring like crazy for the new record! Drew has such an awesome setup, wish I could afford it! lol
Nice
What a cool guy Drew is. Nice rig btw.
This was one of the better rig rundowns for sure. It would be nice if the artist would actually play their guitar and show us what their tones actually sound like. (Like Myles Kennedy did in the Alter Bridge rundown.)
Josiah Bryan Some venues and even stage schedules don't allow that... This is at the Ryman in Nashville which is essentially a museum that does tours during the day, I'm sure they are pretty strict as to when bands can start really playing/sound checking as to not interrupt tours
Plus they mentioned a couple times they were cutting it close to sound check, didn't have time to go through and play each pedal
"Some venues and even stage schedules don't allow that". What, like they are going to only let them play at the exact scheduled time when soundcheck starts? You could clearly hear Jon Foreman singing over the PA when they were talking about the amps. If he had played the guitar instead of describing the sound (when he played it) it probably would have been the same length, maybe shorter.
Drew is such an awsome guy I love him and his band switchfoot is amazing I absolutely love them!!!!!
Hello there Mr. Drew!! Love to see you here! 💝
Do The 1975!! Please
On this episode of Rig Rundown, John Bohlinger interviews himself
Took me the whole length of the video to understand :-D
Seems like a real down to earth dude.
I always wondered what happened with Revival Amps! I was really excited for that project. It sucks that it never went anywhere. (Drew talks about it briefly at 19:21.)
very cool rig rundown with these cool guys. I loved it
Why are all of the guitar pages gaining interest in Drew Shirley? And why the hell couldn't we see the rest of the bands stuff? Come on Premier Guitar, I've been waiting to see what Tim Foreman uses for a long time.
Harry Palmer same! i wanted to see johns rig, his tone imho kills drews side by side
David Rivera I disagree with that personally. But I'm dying to see what the rest of the band plays as well!
Andrew Denning to each his own i guess
He is such a gear geek! Super cool guy too.
You can see two types of guitarists here. The “gear”guy and the “all about the music” guy
Love guitar players that know and love the gear!
Rigrundown of Lincoln Brewster PLEASE
JAT Rock Martin while that would be cool, (he’s my favorite) it’d be a bit of a boring Rundown since he’s using his Sig Strat into a Kemper nowadays.
Very cool rundown!
Great rundown!
Rig Rundown with Adam Jones!
Awesome! Love this!
I know this is sorta unrelated...but please do a rundown of Underoath on their upcoming BMTH tour

What is the company that makes his cable? Also, the pedal board connectors, anybody?
Does anyone know what brand of guitar strap is on the black tele? I’ve been trying to find one forever and can’t figure out who makes them

This guy shouldn't be doing rig rundown interviews. Please hire me to do interviews. I'm a complete gear nerd and knowledgeable unlike John and can ask the relevant questions.
Keep dreaming buddy!
