Rig Rundown: JD McPherson

The retro roots-rocker shows how he gets yesteryear tones with new beauties from Fender, TK Smith, and Texotica.

Filling out the lineup is a Fender Classic ’50s Telecaster with a Curtis Novak pickup in the bridge and a TK Smith CC II in the neck. On this guitar, McPherson prefers to use a custom set of D’Addario Chrome Jazz Light Flat Wounds: .011, .014, .018, .028, .038, .048.
