Rig Rundown: The Magpie Salute's Rich Robinson & Marc Ford

The reunited duo shares stories about favorite axes, and demonstrates how they craft their rootsy twin-guitar attack.

Robinson’s beloved 1968 Gibson Les Paul goldtop was nearly destroyed in Hurricane Sandy. Now totally restored thanks to the loving people at RS Guitarworks, Robinson maintains that the guitar sounds better than ever. This guitar is strung with D’Addario EXL 140 (.010–.052) strings.

Thanks, Doug "Red" Redler, guitar tech and author of Guitarist’s Guide to Maintenance and Repair.
