Joe Glaser made another tailpiece for this 1952 Gibson Les Paul goldtop. It was designed specifically to work with Urban’s right-hand technique. It’s kept in drop-D tuning with a capo on the first fret for “Stupid Boy.”

We caught up with Keith Urban’s guitar tech, Chris Miller, for a look at the country-fried rocker's setup (watch the video here) that's overspilling with mash-up Fenders and classic Gibson guitars, iconic amps, and a condensed pedalboard (see his 2011 Rig Rundown to fully understand Urban's gear geekery).
