Rig Rundown: Pallbearer

Learn how these Arkansas rockers move beyond a wall of dark and heavy doom with various modulations, delays, and deep ’verbs to weave their own complex sonic architecture.

Guitarist Devin Holt has been a longtime ESP player, but has spent most of his time on the brand’s Mustaine DV8 models. However, as the band’s sound has progressed, Holt needed a 7th string and a baritone scale so he now relies on this ESP Alex Wade AW-7B Signature. It’s nearly stock aside from the fact that Holt put in a set of custom Avedissian pickups that are modeled after the Gibson Classic ’57s.

As head of Breedlove and Bedell Guitars, he’s championed sustainability and environmental causes—and he wants to tell you about it.

As the owner of the Breedlove and Bedell guitar companies, Tom Bedell has been a passionate advocate for sustainable practices in acoustic guitar manufacturing. Listening to him talk, it’s clear that the preservation of the Earth’s forests are just as important to Bedell as the sound of his guitars. You’ll know just how big of a statement that is if you’ve ever had the opportunity to spend time with one of his excellently crafted high-end acoustics, which are among the finest you’ll find. Over the course of his career, Bedell has championed the use of alternative tonewoods and traveled the world to get a firsthand look at his wood sources and their harvesting practices. When you buy a Bedell, you can rest assured that no clear-cut woods were used.
