In early May 2015, Premier Guitar crashed Dashboard Confessional’s rehearsal in Nashville and met with Chris Carrabba between songs. Carrabba revealed the acoustic/electric rig that drove Dashboard from emo obscurity to the soundtrack of Spider-Man 2.
Carrabba loves old guitars. For electrics, he tours with a 1961 Gibson Les Paul Jr. and a racing striped 1967 Fender Mustang with a matching headstock. Both are strung with D’Addario EJ21.
For acoustics, Carrabba goes with his beloved and beaten 1970 Martin 0-18 and his 2014 custom-made Martin 00-18 with 3-piece back. The acoustics are strung up with D’Addario EJ17 strings and Carrabba prefers Dunlop Shell Plastic thumb picks and Paige capos.

Hands down the best rig rundown I've seen......dashboard confessional pun intentional
He doesn't like to bend strings a lot. He will not bend (or rarely will), he will not break.
Lol I guess you missed Brand New
He just lives in his own little world I feel like. Strange guy but knows his stuff and that's why I like him so much. Such a great artist.
Fantastic Rig Rundown - one of the best I've seen in quite some time. You can really tell Chris puts time and effort into choosing his words when discussing his gear.
I’m really fascinated and moved by the thought that our instruments will pass on and be owned and used by someone else. My two sons are little, but I bought each of them an acoustic guitar to have for when they are older. They’ll have them when I am gone, and hopefully they’ll be able to pass them to their kids.
Everyone has to love John Bolinger....he's a formidable musician, great compassionate human being and who else could possibly cram as many Wow's & Cool's into a 40 minute video...!
God damn i don't even listen to this band but this was the best rig rundown in awhile thanks to Chris!
+Carl Stacey Don't damn God because of it Carl! just say "praise God..Chris' is so good..!!
+Carl Stacey I totally agree. I had a couple of albums of his when i was in high school. Further Seems Forever stuff. It was really great but I never got into the emo scene. I'd never heard this guy speak and was a bit hesitant to watch him talk about his gear but wow.....what a cool guy and eloquent speaker.
The interviewer drives me insane. It's his voice.....its annoying and his presence seems so fake and staged.
@@LiberTBo shut up, terrance
I want Chris to narrate every single rig rundown. So descriptive, I love it!
Confirmed: Chris Carrabba knows his shit. Cool video!
+George Ivanoff Disagree. They definitely don't ONLY do the three panel back on D models. What about the OM-35 or M-36? Also, it's a 1935 sunburst, not a 1937.
+Cara Bellegarde That's so specific it doesn't even matter
nickymickyhicky Amen
Like we didn’t already know
Cara Bellegarde Is Cara short for Carol Baskins cause you sound like a real bitch.
The way this guy speaks. So relaxing man. Except for those occasional long pauses, which are so abrupt it sounds like the sound has cut out! Fair play to Bollinger for resisting the temptation to interject and pre-empt him.
Joseph Critchley I was thinking the same, it’s almost like a stutter
We all know Perry would have just talked all over Chris about a thousand times.
this one was super thorough! loved it
This has got to be the best rig rundown ever.
Been in love with this man since the 5th grade. ❤
Restless N Relentless he looks so different now
Just saw him three nights ago, he barely does.
we all have boy
I don't even play guitar, but listen to Chris talk about them with such an excitement is so cool! I love this guy...
Amo esse cara tambem
Absolutely fantastic rundown. Very interesting!
I love it how John lets Chris just tell his story. Great interview!
Wow. Chris is really prolific. One of the best rig rundowns.
LOVE this group! Was not expecting to see them on here. This is fantastic
exceptional rig rundown, great interview.
wow his attention to detail to his guitars is incredible. he knows every nook and crany of his guitar.
My old band went on tour with NFG, and while we were in FLA, Chris came to the show 'cause he's friends with them from way back, and i have to say, he's one of the nicest most genuine dudes ever. He spent an hour just talking to me like i was his friend, and even invited our band to come sleep over his house, but we couldn't 'cause we were headed the other way.
Cool! NFG and DBC are 2 of my all time favourite bands. What was the name of your old band? Are you in another band now?
.
Don't know these guys at all, but this is fantastic stuff.
what a Super interview Chris Carrabba was very thoughtful of what he was telling us
and John Bohlinger asked the the right question well done to the both of you,very enjoyable
This is probably my favorite rig rundown to date. Plus Chris' acoustic tone is just heaven. Amazing player. TONE IS IN THE HANDS.
"not that Chris Martin, the other Chris Martin" lol
can't fall down if they're already laying on the floor
He reminds me of Jordan Schlansky, calm and collected, maybe a bit creepy :)
this comment made my day😂 was killing me who he reminded me of!
His pedals have various duties during his set.
I was just thinking the same thing.
Thats just perfect! I was like "who does this guy remind me of??"
Someone tell conan.
Chris: "I don't want an artefact that I can't hand to anyone to play"
Also Chris: "Here's two incredibly rare SGs with Les Paul Junior on the headstock"
"I don't have tuning problems because I adjust my finger pressure to compensate." Epic #humblebrag,
I've definitely heard the name of his band before, but knew nothing about them or this guy...but wow, what a well spoken, polite down to earth, cool guy he seems to be.
12:09 BUT NOT BREAK! anyone?
"I am not a pickup scholar" amen to that man xP
I'm already a fan and this interview made me appreciate him more.
Chris is such a genuine guy, not really a dashboard fan but love FSF
This one is my fav, and I definitely appreciate Chris Carrabba more. Dashboard Confessional isn't just for the angst of being 15 anymore. Thanks :)
OMG he hasn't aged a bit i still love him wuuhuuu
Princess Ann Panza he's 41 now with crazy plastic surgery
such an underrated humble dude
Wow, Chris really knows his stuff. I love seeing musicians who people think are just dumb rockstars, paid industry sellouts, etc. who show they are very intelligent and very deliberate about what gear they use. It shows their attention to their craft, and what makes it special.
Edit: minus points for saying Kitten Caboodle.
It's actually kit AND caboodle.
what a wonderful video!
I have a 1961 Les Paul Junior myself and it's an amazing instrument. its not stock at all anymore. but i keep the original parts in its case haha. its cool to hear the story about it from more than one source.
That was awesome! He's got great taste in gear.
I wish he still rocked the Gibson jumbos
This rundown is dope af!
he will bend but he will not break DOHOHOHO
Julian Boyd hahaha i was looking for this
Julian Boyd lmaoooo
Won't you hold me now?!
I thought he's gonna say; I will bend.. And not break.
Thanks Chris
It has amazed me that he has a simple AC15CC1 as main amp for this excellent rig. I believe that this demonstrates how much have improved VOX since they moved their production to China.
espinela Hes got two ac15s now just seen them Monday, just brilliant!
As a Martin collector/lover/fanatic myself, I think this is a killer RR! Well done Prem GTR. And Martin DOES do the 3 piece back on the M-36 (which is a 0000 and one of my favorites) in addition to the 35 Style Dreadnoughts :-)
I like the jacket buttons hitting that thing the whole time.
This was pretty cool.
Premier Guitar, Can you do a U2 rig rundown, they have just started their new tour, and The Edge has just UPDATED his rig with new guitars and effects, and Adam Clayton has got a few new basses too, and also has new signature Fender and Warwick basses out.
That would go on for about 6 hours
My brother.has a Clapton.Martin. It's almost 20 years old. Sounds nice.
God damn this dude is well spoken
Loved the interview... great info... but man does that guy take a long time to make a freaken point!
Here's another: Know the name but not what they sound like...Doesn't matter..Great Rig Rundown!!
Pretty criminal how this guy doesn’t have a signature model fender or acoustic.
Demais!!!!
uhmm guys where is chris carraba's sideburns?
2007
lol @ Half Murray
itsmebernard Lol I was wondering what was different about him.
This was amazing! Haha -- @7:40 "i never go... real overboard with the price i'll pay for a guitar" = so, he does go a little overboard! :D
Johns been crushing the gym
12:10 "I will bend" BUT NOT BREAK!
immediately thought of kurt after seeing that mustang. and then chris mentions him with the martin unplugged pickup reference.
I think we need a JB rig rundown...
Great review.
I was looking for which strings would be good. I like dashboard's sound, bought the d'addario ej17. We will see if I like them
Wonder if anyone knows where to get an instrument plug like the one Chris uses on his mogami cable…
any thoughts on if the heel cap is the best place for the strap button?
Que amor!
Really the pick ups are probably grey flatwork single coils same as a strat of the same year, same wire, same pots and switch. They should sound great.
Kurt& Chris..4ever
What's he playing at the beginning? I must play it til I hate it!!
What is this orange-blue ...ehh.. thing in the background?
Is his 3 panel acoustic guitar all mohogony?
Please do Michael Landau's rig !!!
Chris Carrabba is awesome but I don't see how he can sing a song when he takes such long........................................................................pauses in every sentence.
Songs are rehearsed………….. most conversations aren’t
"Acoustic guitar. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk."
Does acoustic guitar need amp or it is just ok to go straight to PA System?
Thang Lian Cin Either works. If you want to play into an electric amp, or an acoustic amp, or straight into the PA. All work.
did he seriously just have all his guitars lying on the floor?!?! @ 13:00
It's a rehearsal space and he knew the interview was coming up.. makes sense to me.
We want Mogwai!
Is that a 2-tone Rolex Datejust Chris is wearing? Also, he appears to be wearing a wedding ring. I've never known Chris to be married or even partnered for that matter. Was he married at that time? I saw him live in Dublin last year and he made reference to his mother (or possibly grandmother) asking him when he's "going to find a nice girl".
I met Chris after a Twin Forks show in 2014. Someone else asked if he was married. He said he was, but he didn’t go into any details (how long, to whom, children or not, etc.). He made it clear he wanted to keep his personal life private. He did tell us that he was living in Murfreesboro, TN (which is about 30 miles south of Nashville). That’s all the personal information he gave.
Vegans would cry if they found out what his custom acoustic is made of.
Welcome gentlemen to my world. Stay as long as you wish. If you dare
Why does he remind me so much of Johnny Depp's portrayal of Ed Wood?
A original centaur pedal? *--*
Maybe I'm taking him the wrong way or maybe he is talking to his audience but who doesn't know what a Klon Centaur is?
Note that Carrabba does NOT have a Martin signature model and is NOT Martin artist.
Can't remember him saying he had a sig just that they call them ambassadors. www.martinguitar.com/players/martin-ambassadors.html
Endorsements are funny. Martin probably has different levels for endorsees. The "Martin Artist" level is probably the highest and the "Ambassador" level is probably a little bit lower. His guitar is a custom, not a signature. They'd probably do a custom for anyone, as long as you have the funds for it. Regardless, it's a beautiful guitar.
@@EliBraudFishing they showed up at a show to refinish his '70 018 😂😂 sounds like he's treated pretty good by Martin.
I don't like his music but this guy is very Intelligent
smells like teen spirit mustang :)
Jason mraz ?
Suns out gunsss out
i wouldn't put a fender prototype on the floor lol
He looks alike Andrew Garfield
Enough gear talk. Sing “Hell On The Throat” already
nice 2 c the host got rid of his mullet
Nice Rolex
Carraba is just the right amount of weird
Great rundown. But Jesus, SPEAK!!!
Seems to be speaking an awful lot considering all the stories about his guitars.
Kinda emotional about Martin here.. ? It's nice.
Everyone is loving this rundown. I did not.
maybe cause your dumb name is hardcore sex
@@jointheresistence123 dont blame the hardcore sex. blame the sleeveless tee
They should change their name to the Haircut Professionals
why does Chris remind me of Woody Allen?
It might be his attraction to children.
Why is Chris so mutantly small? Did he not eat his wheaties?
He looks like he's in shape and not obese like most Americans.
