Ahead of North Carolina metal vets Corrosion of Conformity’s show at Nashville’s Cannery Hall, PG’s Chris Kies hung out with guitarists Pepper Keenan and Woody Weatherman, and bassist Bobby Landgraff, who gave us a walkthrough of their rigs for this new Rundown. Brought to you by D’Addario.
Tom Butwin takes a close-up look at three parlor-style acoustics that punch well above their size. The Taylor Ben Harper Gold Label 512e, the Cort Modern Black, and the Breedlove Roots Parlor each approach the compact acoustic differently, and all three sound great at home, in the studio, or on stage.
In early May, post-hardcore titans Drug Church rolled through Nashville’s Basement East. Before the gig, PG’s Perry Bean headed to the venue to meet up with guitarists Nick Cogan and Cory Galusha for a look at the gear they’re using to shake walls across the country. We’ve rounded up some highlights below, but tune into the full Rundown for all the details. Brought to you by D’Addario.
The band's guitar-star captain details BBS' sustained success marking their silver anniversary, remembers the honor and privligede he had playing Gary Rossington's "Free Bird" SG, explains the reason for lusting after under-the-radar vintage workhorse Gibsons, and shares the joy he has celebrating the music of Marshall Tucker Band and Toy Caldwell. Plus, host John Bohlinger and Charlie Starr share a pair of groovy, greasy jams!
Early Thunderbird models were built with a nine-ply neck-through-body design with mahogany wings, marking the first use of neck-through construction on a Gibson bass. It was also the first Gibson bass to feature a long 34” scale length, departing from the shorter 30.5” scale used previously. Today, Gibson honors that heritage with a new Thunderbird Bass that blends the spirit of the original with modern craftsmanship and performance.
