Rig Rundown: The Doobie Brothers

Badge
Video

The guitarists from one of classic rock’s most enduring hitmakers walk us through how they combine old-school custom axes with some of the latest technology.

Johnston’s main guitar for dropped or alternate tunings is this 2007 PRS Custom 24.

Special thanks to tech Chris Ledbetter.
