Pavement’s 2026 reunion run brought them to Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium for a two-night stand, and PG’s Chris Kies caught up with Stephen Malkmus, Mark Ibold, and Scott “Spiral Stairs” Kannberg before the second show to look over the road rigs. Have a look at some quick highlights below, and tune into the new Rig Rundown for all the details.
Usually, if you're bringing an electric guitar to a gig, you need to bring an amp, or at least a speaker, too. The Enya Inspire Pro changes that. It's got one built in. Tom Butwin unpacks a smart guitar that folds an entire signal chain into a carbon fiber body, and makes the case that even the most die-hard traditionalist can find a use for it.
The blues-rock guitar star sits down with PG's Nikos Arvanitis discussing his growth as a player (including prioritizing time away from the instrument), finding inspiration in figures outside of music, engaging with the social-media phenoms for a motivational challenge, and explaining why his partnership with Kiesel is a perfect fit.
