Rig Rundown: Deafheaven

Guitarists Kerry McCoy and Shiv Mehra might have similar tastes in gear, but their approach to combining modern metal riffs with soundscape samples sets them apart.

McCoy's sinister Dunable V features a mahogany neck and body, ebony fretboard, Dunable Slugwolf pickups, a momentary kill button, Schaller vibrato bridge, and Grover keystone tuners. Both Dunables are strung with D'Addario NYXL .010s and remain in either standard tuning or dropped D.

Special thanks to day-to-day manager Dan Nakhoul for all his help.
