PG’s John Bohlinger hung with Taylor Goldsmith, Wylie Gelber, and Duane Betts of Dawes before their April 2016 gig at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. With Gelber’s self-made basses, Goldsmith’s classic axes, and Betts’ historic hand-me-downs, Dawes show that simplicity get’s it done.
Singer/songwriter/guitarist Taylor Goldsmith has an old-school approach to tone.
Taylor Goldsmith’s No. 1 is this Telecaster made from old Fender parts including some vintage ’70s Fender pickups.
Wylie Gelber comes from one of those build-it-yourself families, so it only makes sense that he and his father constructed a pair of 4-strings that he uses on the road and in the studio. His No. 1 is this Model III which features a 1960s Gibson mini humbucker in the bridge and a ’70s-era Gibson Ripper pickup in the neck. The body was carved out of two pieces of 40-year-old alder. The neck is from a ’70s Gibson Grabber with a reshaped headstock. Gelber keeps it strung up with D'Aquisto flatwound strings (.050-.105).
Duane Betts was born into rock ’n’ roll royalty, which has some benefits when it comes to gear. Betts’ main touring guitar is his Gibson Les Paul Dickey Betts signature model, which was a gift from his legendary father.

Am I the only one who now wants a Rig Rundown with Wylie's dad? If he's half as endearingly dorky as his dad they should have their own show. "Building with the Gelbers".
I must say, I really prefer the rig rundowns of slightly smaller artists as opposed to huge stadium bands where the tech explains the rig. These are much more enjoyable when the person is passionate and cares about their gear. Keep it up guys!
''60 year old technology and they got it right first time.''
that bassist is a cool ass dude
The pedalboard with the coin mounts... that's pretty cool. This bass player is a neat guy.
I've rewatched this episode so many times. I sure hope we get a second Dawes episode someday soon! I'd love to hear Wylie talk about the guitars he's built recently.
What a cool pedalboard - love the diy spirit and that he did it with his Dad. Bravo.
Every time Taylor goes to put up his guitar in the rack and John grabs it, I like to imagine he is super bothered by it.
I just love these vids the only problem is I always end up gear shopping after watching em!!! JB is a great interviewer!!! 😎
I love the rig run downs with John he's so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the gear it's just a pleasure watching and gets you excited about guitar
We need a new rundown for these guys!
As an aspiring guitar builder, Wylie is my new hero!
Man I feel bad for Duane- when he said "you had to be a guitar player" - you could see Duane die a little inside. Must be hard to live under such a shadow and expectation.
been waiting for this for so long. the tone on the studio version of If I Wanted Someone is phenomenal. so good
Wiley (and dad) is such an innovator! I wish him well.
They're so excited about their gear… I love it!!
those basses are seriously cool!
Taylor is the kindest human in the business.
Great interview, John.
That's a genuine Jonny Fritz Dad Country Leather guitar strap! Love it.
