On March 31, 2014, Premier Guitar's John Bohlinger met with guitar great Neil "Spyder" Giraldo before a gig with his wife, Pat Benatar. Giraldo walked us through his epic career odyssey and answered questions from fans on our Facebook page. Here, guitar tech Jason Stockwell dishes tech details on the rig.
Giraldo's current favorite axe is a '68 Guild Starfire dubbed "Pain." It sports two custom-wound Seymour Duncan pickups, and Giraldo stuffed foam through the F-holes to cut down on feedback. He also has newer, similarly appointed Starfires, including one he keeps tuned to D. When he wants a bit more flash, Giraldo grabs his custom GMP Roxy, which-like his other touring guitars-also features custom Duncans and a Bigsby.
