Rig Rundown: Moon Taxi

Discover how double-cuts, modeling amps, and a baker’s dozen stomps energize the live rigs for this Nashville guitar duo.

The lone guitar Spencer Thomson trusts is this Gibson 1964 ES-345 reissue that he acquired about a year ago and has since replaced his Strat and Les Paul for most live situations. We’d love to tell you the strings he has on it, but Thomson loves old strings and hasn’t broken or changed a string since he got the guitar. He loves messing with the varitone knob in the studio, but typically only uses the 1st position. He recorded two tracks for their current single “Two High” with the 345 in the 1st position and the 7th and then combined them for a full, rich sound.
