Rig Rundown: Chris Robinson Brotherhood

Psychedelia reigns with the band’s stash of boutique guitars, workhorse amps, and tone-shaping stomps.

Chris Robinson’s main guitar is a custom Vox Virage in deep cherry finish that features a trio of Vox’s proprietary P-90-style pickups. The guitar is nicknamed “Peace Pipe” because of the beautiful inlay done by concert-poster wizard Alan Forbes. His main ride is strung up with Curt Mangan strings (.0105–.048).
