Rig Rundown: Jerry Douglas

A deep studio dive with one of the most recorded resonator players ever.

For resonator, Jerry Douglas goes with his Beard JD Signature model, nicknamed “Blackbeard.” Douglas added another Lollar gold-foil pickup in the neck to go along with his signature Fishman transducer under-saddle pickup. He keeps Blackbeard strung up with D’Addario EJ42 Phosphor Bronze .016–.056 strings.
