Rig Rundown: Death Cab for Cutie

Badge
Video

The Pacific Northwest alt rockers talk short-scale Fenders and Lakeland Ps.

Gibbard has two Acme Silvertone ‎amp heads onstage (one is a backup). Jesse Quitslund made these overbuilt versions of the classic Danelectro/Sears Silvertone 1484 circuit in 2008.

Special thanks to tech Jesse Quitslund, the man behind Acme Instruments.
