Almost equally as cool as the Strat gifted to him from his fiancée, is this 1961 Gibson Les Paul/SG Standard that was given to the guitarist by the Foo Fighters when they recorded the song “What Do I Do / God As My Witness” for the Foo’s album (and documentary) Sonic Highways. He admits to liking the SG because it’s his only guitar that is raw and a bit unhinged sounding with its humbuckers. He’s been using it a lot live and particularly on songs from The Story of Sonny Boy Slim like “Grinder” and “The Healing.”

Zach loves his Sovtek Mig 60 head, which he plays through a cab he built himself at a pipe-organ shop in Denver. Every glue joint is lined with thin leather for maximum air tightness, and it’s stocked with Celestion G12M Greenback speakers.
