Once a devoted Les Paul player, Fallon made the move to the trusty, hearty Telecaster and hasn’t looked back. This ’51 Fender Custom Shop Broadcaster Relic is the model that the rosewood Tele’s neck is based on. This was a post-NAMM package buy from Russo Music that also included a sister Custom Shop Strat. The only change he’s made to the guitar is adding Righteous Sound Sparrow pickups that are based on early, low-output Tele single-coils.

Perry Bean cut his teeth touring and playing in punk rock and hardcore bands, before he got his start in film. He worked his way up from lowly production assistant to become a producer, art director, and most recently, a music video director nominated for ACM, CMT, and CMA awards. Being Premier Guitar's Chief Videographer was a perfect fit for him, combining his two favorite things—guitars and cameras. Perry doesn't have free time, but his massive dog Beef pays his rent by being Perry's intern.
