Today I was super stoked to see a new Rig Rundown featuring Nels Cline of Wilco on PremiereGuitar. I’ve been a fan of Nels from a distance for years, but never really got to learn about his gear until this blog. Coincidentally, I did a pedal board breakdown of his board a while back (you can read it here – Nels Cline – Wilco – Pedal Board), but this video is fantastic. Nels really goes into detail about his guitars, amp and his effects. I really like it when artists go into ‘why’ they like a particular pedal. That kind of insight is very useful when looking at new pedals to purchase or understanding issues you might be having with your current pedals.
Here is the video by PremiereGuitar:

Nels’ gear is cool, but I’d really like to check out Rebecca Dirks’ “gear”! Heheheh.

I have a mastery installed on my 2008 Jaguar HH (mex) and love it. It’s a great upgrade for anyone that plays hard and has issues with the high E popping off the bridge.
