Rig Rundown: Ally Venable

This up-and-coming Texas-blues rocker walks through how she gets her huge tones.

Venable’s No. 1 is this 2006 Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster 60th Anniversary model. The only modification that Venable has made was to swap out the stock pickups for a set of Fishman Fluence Single Width pickups. She keeps her guitars strung up with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky (.010–.046) strings and uses Dunlop Tortex 1.14 mm picks.
