Rig Rundown: JD McPherson

Badge
Video

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

Next up is this Fender American Vintage Strat. It’s based on ’50s specs and finished in an “ink blue” color with a gold anodized pickguard. McPherson loaded the Strat with a set of Curtas Novak vintage pickups and strings it up with a set of D’Addario Nickel .011–.049s.
