Olivia Rodrigo’s Emily Rosenfield, Daisy Spencer, and Moa Munoz Rig Rundown

Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts was last year’s pop-rock album of the year, with singles like “All-American Bitch,” “Get Him Back!,” and “Bad Idea Right?” igniting a revival of early-’00s pop-punk, but with quite a bit more nuance and grit.

Rodrigo’s tour behind the critically acclaimed record has been rolling around the world since February. To bring it on the road, the star has hired guitarists Emily Rosenfield and Daisy Spencer, along with bassist Moa Munoz. PG’s Chris Kies caught up with the three musicians before Rodrigo’s show at San Francisco’s Chase Center in early August to see what gear powers the pop-rock machine.

Special thanks for helping out to guitar techs Luis Munoz and Maurizio Pino.

Aye Aye, Captain

Among a stable of sharp, fun axes, Rosenfield, who also plays with Rina Sawayama and has played guitar for Broadway productions of Rent and Hamilton, favors this eye-catching Gibson Kirk Douglas Signature SG. Strung with Ernie Ball Paradigm strings, the triple-humbucker configuration carries a fair bit of Jack White mojo—a great fit given White’s oddball influence on Rodrigo’s barbed take on pop-rock.

Black Cat

Spencer’s number-one is this Shabat Guitars Leopard, built by Los Angeles-based luthier Avi Shabat. The Jazzmaster-style guitar, which also takes Ernie Ball Paradigms, covers some shoegaze tonal territory that crops up through the carefully programmed set.

Rick Rock

As a teen in Sweden, bassist Moa Munoz grew up on a steady diet of rock and metal, and Rickenbacker basses seemed like the right tool for those jobs. She delivered mail to save up for this 1981 Rickenbacker 4001, and it’s still her top choice.

Kemper Tantrum

Munoz runs an onstage amp rig—powered by a Mesa Boogie Subway D-800 head and matching cab—but supplements that with a Line 6 Helix Rack and Control system. Spencer and Rosenfield run through Kemper Profiler systems, with Kemper Profiler Remote units at their feet to dance through their sound changes. They cover everything from acoustic ballads to sparkly cleans to alien octave jumps to full-on grunge sludge, so tune in to hear snippets of the sonic spectrum.
