Rig Rundown: The Breeders

Badge
Video

For nearly 30 years, these alt-rock pioneers have created gristly tones full of attitude and angst. Find out how guitarist Kelley Deal and bassist Josephine Wiggs craft their signature tones.

Kelley Deal tours with two guitars that cover everything from sweet and sensitive to angry and destructive. On the angry side is her 1993 Gibson Les Paul Standard strung with Ernie Ball .011-gauged strings.
