I built up the orig conversion for Rob Cavallo about 15 years ago. Ive done several projects for him and Green Day so he approached me about doing a copy of his guitar cause Dave liked it so much. This was during the recording or just after if Im not mistaken. I copied the guitar to the last detail including a pair of 1972 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe mini humbuckers. Yes, it sounds great.
@IvanTuroc As someone previously stated, its a Veilette Gryphon (just Google "Veillette Guitars"). They're based in Woodstock, NY. The guitar's base price runs about $3,500.
Thanks for this video, I don't think I've ever actually seen the matchless amp/iso cab, and also holy shit at dave's acoustic rack - 10 shure units, that's crazy
@Blinxracer44 He plays Idea of You, Shotgun, Squirm, and Baby Blue (and the one time played "Falling off the Roof" [later renamed Jackpot, which was supposed to be on Herbie Hancock's new album but was cut]) on the Gryphon.
@ onraj9mm - Of course not, where did you get that notion?A hot-rodded Stratocaster with 2 Seymour Duncan SM-1 Humbuckers has a different sound than the Fender MIM Blacktop’s with dual over wound alnico humbuckers…. They both “sound good”… as Craig says… the Blacktop is more crunchy the SM-1’s are a bit smoother.More than a JND… have you played them? :-(0)
Amazing how similar the Stratocaster with twin humbuckers "custom made" looks almost identical to Fender's "Blacktop Series" MIM Stratocasters that retail at $499 at the music chain stores. Utterly amazing, bet Dave paid a ton more for basically the same guitar that a "friend" custom made in LA Great Idea Craig!!!!
Yes. They didn't show this in the video, but Dave actually has 3 "mandolins". Some of the songs he plays with them are Baby Blue, Whiter Shade of Pale (cover), Squirm, The Idea of You, and Shotgun.
If anyone at all knows how to get ahold of that "Joe Viet" guy who makes those red mandolin-like 12 strings..let me asap! Im looking to buy one for sure!
OK , how does one land this most incredible job ? I'll sweep your string clippings just to get my feet in the door . Dream job for me ! Cheap labor , hard worker , know a lot already . Email me , I'm there !
Know local guitar players and let them know you'll do tech jobs or let venues know in case someone asks for one... Go to smaller national tours, Faster Pussycat came by and I talked to their tech at the bar for awhile, I'm sure if I thought about it I would have asked how he got the job as tech/merch guy for Pussycat
Also teching is more than changing strings, while that's most of it, it's changing strings and then set up the guitar at each venue for it (and have fun if it's a guy like me who plays Floyd with multiple tunings and backups for each) and being able to on the fly resolder connections in a guitar/amp/pedal, glue broken Gibson headstocks, etc haha Ya put an ad out on your local classifieds website or Criagslist and go to shows! Talk to the guitarist/s as they're breaking down/setting up. Most local shows won't need that kind of work but who knows which will eventually be doing out of state shows and need a little help with guitars and merch or bass and merch or whatever. Unless you get a job in a big band you're gonna be doing a lot of side jobs to save them money
of all the rig-rundown's, this is the only one that was disappinting, to me anyway, the tech was polite just not into it, when dave is one of the true masters and the tech obviously well informed. the guy seemed a bit flat
+TheEyedeaOfYou he looks nervous to me. He is well informed. Most techs are like yeah uh yeah uh yeah. He also apologizes at the end for being tired and wanting a break.
STILL CLICKBAITING US AS USUAL, MAKING US THINK IT'S A DAVE MATTHEWS RIG RUNDOWN WHEN IT'S REALLY A CRAIG BAKER RIG RUNDOWN DISLIKE COS YOU LIED WITH CLICKBAIT TITLES
This dude was fired right after Dave saw this video...! Also he failed to try to score with Rebecca Dirks, he didn't even ask her out for drinks, and he's not gay or anything, just lame and lazy...
Who says "score"? Hey Richey Cunningham, where are Potsey and Ralph Mouth? You know her family is probably seeing these videos and comments? It's easy to criticize, but much harder to empathize. I see a lot of your trolling bullshit on here and apparently you think you're the expert's expert! This is exactly why you got beat up and had no friends in high school. Try some positivity for the moment and when we get to the part about the whining and annoying know it all, we'll ask for you to join in. Until then shut your pie hole! BTW nice scarf Kook!

Do you still build guitars today?
Yep, Im building acousitc guitars in Albuquerque NM. @@brockallenmusic
I like the little nod to Stay Or Leave that Craig Bake did when he was demonstrating the guitar with the unique high B tuning.
The tech may not be the greatest live speaker but he knows what he's doing and play's also.
Was at this show. It was epic. If you want to hear the gear, they released a live cd of this show. Sick.
@IvanTuroc As someone previously stated, its a Veilette Gryphon (just Google "Veillette Guitars"). They're based in Woodstock, NY. The guitar's base price runs about $3,500.
wow that funky high b tuning explains a hell of alot
I know this comment is 11 years old but this is my first time seeing the video and I wanna say- I completely agree 👀
He didn’t explain the individual string notes so it doesn’t help much
@@stewartross13He said it’s basically capo 7 on a standard tuned guitar.
Thanks for this video, I don't think I've ever actually seen the matchless amp/iso cab, and also holy shit at dave's acoustic rack - 10 shure units, that's crazy
hahahaha! nice message on the peterson stroborack tuner guys!
"Knock Knock You're A Dick"
Saw that. "Knock, knock...You're a dick"
That 914 is a CE. E is for electricity. Meaning it has a pickup.
I was at the first night of these shows. Brilliant!
@Blinxracer44 He plays Idea of You, Shotgun, Squirm, and Baby Blue (and the one time played "Falling off the Roof" [later renamed Jackpot, which was supposed to be on Herbie Hancock's new album but was cut]) on the Gryphon.
...and don`t forget tortex orange ( 60.mm ) guitar pick. Highlights of every Premier guitar video :-)))
That Crate is a $75 amp on ebay...what's it for, and why is it there, and do they want to buy mine as a back-up?
mro2112 I wonder why no one talks about it
I googled Dave Matthews crate powerblock and no results!!!
The guitar at 4:22 is a Veillette gryphon
What was the Crate PowerBlock amp in the rack for? I don't think he said what role it played in Dave's dound.
kmlconsolidated wondering the same
That ‘99 Taylor 914ce is sick. Great guitar! Although I like the sound of his Martin too.
How about the most important info!! String gauge type and action setting????
check 'em out -- Veillette guitars
Thanks for watching,
--PG Staff
Baaaaahahaha love the readout on the digital display at 7:35
Where the f- is Dave Matthews, i don't see him, i only see Craig Baker
@ onraj9mm - Of course not, where did you get that notion?A hot-rodded Stratocaster with 2 Seymour Duncan SM-1 Humbuckers has a different sound than the Fender MIM Blacktop’s with dual over wound alnico humbuckers….

@kmlconsolidated
I'd guess it's for off stage monitoring.
Where the hell is the good ol' chet atkins from when Dave used to actually jam??
A Proc He hasn't used it since '99 although I'd like to see him back with it too
What's the specific purpose/use for that Crate gtr amp head
the 90s 914c are the best of the best.
Amazing how similar the Stratocaster with twin humbuckers "custom made" looks almost identical to Fender's "Blacktop Series" MIM Stratocasters that retail at $499 at the music chain stores. Utterly amazing, bet Dave paid a ton more for basically the same guitar that a "friend" custom made in LA Great Idea Craig!!!!
I'm guessing that neck doesn't feel quite the same.
wish we could hear the 12 string taylor...
Does he play from a specific song when he shows the mandolin-guitar?
Yes. They didn't show this in the video, but Dave actually has 3 "mandolins". Some of the songs he plays with them are Baby Blue, Whiter Shade of Pale (cover), Squirm, The Idea of You, and Shotgun.
I wanna see Rebeccas' gear!
This is exactly why she quit premier guitar, you perverts making these jokes
And by tired He means "High"!!!!
i remember that concert dude....
If anyone at all knows how to get ahold of that "Joe Viet" guy who makes those red mandolin-like 12 strings..let me asap! Im looking to buy one for sure!
what song did he play on the Joe Veillette Guitar
Idea of you
where's monk??
i want to get the guitar at 4:22
didn't get the high b tunning anyone can explain?
What don't you get? He uses lower string gauges. It's like having a capo on 7.
@ 00:38 WTF IS THAT DUDE CARRYING A BASS CAB JUST LIKE THAT???!?! or is that the cover of the road case?
yeah its a cover
interesting iso cab
I miss Rebecca Perks
@hype236 yeah; me too I can't find a name for it or the maker yet on the net. Anyone know about that guitar?
can someone give the b tuning please?
B Standard but instead of low B, it's high
It was just the cover for a road case
@04GUITARPLAYER04 Just the case cover.
half the time, the guitar tech knows just as much as the artist if not more
Hehe finaly saw the man behind the camera (resonator guitar)
lol that 914 int a ce either. its just a C.
lol jason shadrick 1:19
Jay takin over the camera roll, once becky took it over while Chris Kies interviewed Joshua Evans
IDK, sometimes I find that the tech knows more about the rig. I mean, it's his job.
i don't like it, it's so boring when these random fuckboys do the gear instead of the real guitarist
OK , how does one land this most incredible job ? I'll sweep your string clippings just to get my feet in the door . Dream job for me ! Cheap labor , hard worker , know a lot already . Email me , I'm there !

Gotta get a foot in the door somehow . Thanks for the advise Chad !
Also teching is more than changing strings, while that's most of it, it's changing strings and then set up the guitar at each venue for it (and have fun if it's a guy like me who plays Floyd with multiple tunings and backups for each) and being able to on the fly resolder connections in a guitar/amp/pedal, glue broken Gibson headstocks, etc haha

+Jay Rogers know the band, i.e. be a friend of the band.
Did I tell you about the time I picked Dave up at the side of the road? 😉
in Hershey?
The fly
Rebecca is a beautiful girl. What makes her even hotter is how much she knows about guitars.
She always looks cute. I always enjoy the undersized t-shirts too
Gabriel Muniz yep she is darling
shotgun and the idea of you bith are unreleased live tunes@TheCentury05
Oh my goodness. I was distracted by how beautiful she is. I have to watch that again and pay attention to the gear lol damn 😍😍
And it sounds good...*silence* LOLL.;
so if he has a pedal labeled "balls", does that mean he steps on his balls every time he plays a gig? #justsayin'
of all the rig-rundown's, this is the only one that was disappinting, to me anyway, the tech was polite just not into it, when dave is one of the true masters and the tech obviously well informed. the guy seemed a bit flat
Non-stop touring and long hours will do it!
+TheEyedeaOfYou he looks nervous to me. He is well informed. Most techs are like yeah uh yeah uh yeah. He also apologizes at the end for being tired and wanting a break.
i agree it is disapointing because it's just a random fuckboy doing the gear not the real dave matthews
Don't be a dick! Not everyone is used to being in the spotlight on a world stage. Obviously he's doing something right. Show some respect.
LOL yeah because the way guitar looks is the most important thing right?? LMAO
“Knock Knock… You’re a Dick” 😂😂
STILL CLICKBAITING US AS USUAL, MAKING US THINK IT'S A DAVE MATTHEWS RIG RUNDOWN WHEN IT'S REALLY A CRAIG BAKER RIG RUNDOWN
DISLIKE COS YOU LIED WITH CLICKBAIT TITLES
well said!
Either this is a joke, or you don’t understand the premise of a guitar tech
This dude was fired right after Dave saw this video...! Also he failed to try to score with Rebecca Dirks, he didn't even ask her out for drinks, and he's not gay or anything, just lame and lazy...

who really cares?
well the 117,000 people who bothered to watch the video seem to care
