When I met Tom and Mark, I had no idea that they were both extremely tall. It's funny looking at Tom with Les Pauls because they look like guitar hero guitars on him.
That's so cool that you met them! How was it? I think that's why Tom said he switched to ES335s, because they didn't feel like toy guitars
@@anndynegative This must have been perhaps 2002 or 2003. They were funny, it was the Mark Tom and Travis album time period. I just remember thinking they were like, average height seeing them on tv. Meanwhile Tom is like 6'4.
When I met Tom and took a picture with him his head made mine look tiny. He’s a really big dude.
That's true. These Jr Teles are the hidden secret of the 90s punk guitar tone (Blink182 / Sum41 and many more). Had two of these. An original from 1994 and one from 1998 with the different pickguard. Mark Hoppus revealed this several years ago in an instagram post. But, the main guitar you heard on Angels and Airwaves first album and later tracks is the Koa Strat. Mahogany body (sandwich with rosewood layer and Koa top) and instead of a humbucker a Seymour Duncan lipstick pickup. Own one as well with Mahogany body and a lipstick in the bridge as only pickup and it sounds incredibly good. There is another video on youtube where someone speaks about the guitars Tom has used over the years. But he was wrong with this bridge pickup as he mentioned that this will be some kind of a Dimarzio FS-1 but obviously it's not.
I heard Tom used his Gibson red wine Les Paul for Rhythm tracks, (smooth punch and thick palm mutes and power chords) and the Telecaster you have in that picture, for the leads which sound a little twangier. Dysentery Gary intro, lead for Dumpweed, Adams Song clean, etc.
The picture of Tom with the tele is from the making of the self titled album documentary
AHHHH, interesting!
Correct! There's footage of him using it to record the track "Asthenia".
On The Dream Walker they used bunch of different guitars. Gibson LP Special Double Cut (P90s as well), Rickenbacker, Fender Eric Johnson Strat and his 335. What I found very interesting is that he/Ilan use the Mike Dirnt Bass. Tried some and have to agree that these Mexican Dirnt Basses sound really really good mainly because of the 59 Custom Shop pickup.
Many bands use different guitars studios eg led zep using telecasters recording yet using les pauls on stage
This is so true. Usually "sponsorships" only apply to what people see, so guitarists will only play their signature guitar on stage, but record with whatever will get the right tone for the song
Yup - j mascis never records on a jazzmaster or with a big muff
This is an awesome video! Jerry Finn is my all time favorite producer. What a legend.
That picture of Tom and the tele is clearly not in 1998, lol. Was around 03 based on his hair and looks
I was thinking the same thing too, tho it's a pretty low re photo, so it's hard to say for certain. Either way, the seller allegedly claimed the tele was used on EOTS
@@anndynegative yea I’ve heard the tele thing for a while too, I saw a photo recently on Reddit that shows Tom circa EOTS days holding a tele in a recording studio. Pretty wild!
@@diddyfaplord where did you find it? I searched for a few hours but couldn't find any other ones unfortunately
I remember reading an interview in a guitar magazine, and Tom said in the studio he used his Mesa, Marshall for gain, and a Dumble for his clean tone. I think it was for Take off your pants.
Yea he def used Marshall & Mesa, didn't know about the dumble tho... that's rad!
Jerry actually had Tele Jrs (2 P-90s sorry thought it was a single) that Tom was said to have used (likely on cleans) but most things point to Tom using a Les Paul with PAF humbuckers for most of EOTS.
You're probably right as there's a lot more evidence of Tom using Les Pauls. Still, it could always be a mix of guitars that were multi tracked (like the explorer in the one photo)
@@anndynegative oh totally. It would not surprise me at all if the intro to STFTK or WMAA were done on the Tele Jrs. Hard to say with the heavier riffs but P90s can handle distortion well just ask Jim Adkins and Billie Joe Armstrong so it’s entirely possible. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were used more prominently on TOYPAJ.
@@clfnole absolutely. Jerry was a master of guitar yones. I'd be super curious to see what was used for Box Car Racer, but I haven't found much documentation
@@anndynegative so I spoke with someone that had a bit of knowledge on that. Not sure on guitars but a Diesel VH4 does the heavy lifting. Also reportedly used were a Hiwatt and a modded Marshall. You would have to thinking blending was involved per usual.
I thought it was common knowledge that he never used his Strat in the studio... Everyone knows Tom's Strat is great in a live environment however it doesn't sound as great in the studio due to the Invader being such a high output pickup. I didn't realise people actually thought he used the Strat in the studio.
It's more interesting to learn about the use of teles and others that aren't les Pauls for me. Looking through some of Jerry's collection, he had some wild guitars and it's fun to speculate what was used
@@anndynegative No doubt man, Jerry was and will always be a legend. What I would give to work with him on music :(
I thought he used the strat in studio
The grainy photo of Tom with the tele jr is obviously from the untitled sessions. 100%
You're probably right
Just checked again. Mark Hoppus revealed this "secret" on the 23rd of October 2010 in a blogspot post.
I once read Tom used a Gothic Explorer for ‘Give Me One Good Reason’ on TOYPAJ. Not sure of the truth of that though.
That's so cool! I wonder if there are any pictures
It's "cannot be overstated" - not understated. If you say something cannot be understated, then everything you say is an overstatement, meaning it's worthless.
Anyone who thinks artists primarily use their signature instruments in-studio just doesn’t know how music is created.
Exactly
Well I wasn't expecting to see my guitars or hear my name on here :), not to mention my ghostbusters bed sheets!
I discovered you a while back because of Danny Gonzalez. I now watch this channel more than Danny's. I still love his channel. I just love this one too. Im glad we have someone like you teaching the next generation the fundamentals of rock. Thank you, Andy-.
I'm just glad that you're here :)
"Who is Jerry Finn?" how dare you
I don't assume that everyone knows who he was
Incorrect, enema was recorded on a gibson les paul that was gifted to him by a friend at gibson.
That's very possible. Tho pictures of him using the tele during the recording have since surfaced. He used a lot of guitars in the studio
@@anndynegative true
Tom stated 20+ years ago he used Jerry’s guitars and equipment on enema it’s nothing new but I guess if ur just getting into blink you wouldn’t know. Toms strat is a great guitar for live but not the greatest for
The studio.
It's pretty cool to see one of the actual guitars from Jerry's collection surface tho!
