Retro roots-rocker JD McPherson met up with Premier Guitar’s John Bohlinger before his set at Nashville’s Mercy Lounge to reveal how he coaxes old tones out of new gear.
The coolest axe in McPherson’s arsenal is this custom guitar built by TK Smith. It’s based on the Smith Special model, but with a Gretsch Jupiter Thunderbird-style body. The bird’s-eye maple body features Smith’s custom C.A.R. pickups and a custom Bigsby-style tailpiece. TK Smith puts a hybrid set of Thomastik-Infeld flatwound strings on his guitars when they leave his shop, but McPherson said he couldn’t bend them as much as he liked so he’s using D’Addario Pure Nickel .011s.
Filling out the lineup is a Fender Classic ’50s Telecaster with a Curtis Novak pickup in the bridge and a TK Smith CC II in the neck. On this guitar, McPherson prefers to use a custom set of D’Addario Chrome Jazz Light Flat Wounds: .011, .014, .018, .028, .038, .048.
