Lindsey Buckingham Rig Rundown Guitar Gear Tour

www.premierguitar.com PG's Jason Shadrick is on location in Iowa City, IA, at the Englert Theatre where he catches up with Lindsey Buckingham's tech Stanley Lamendola to find out with the he's using on his current solo tour. The gear includes a collection of custom Rick Turner guitar, Taylor Acoustics, amps from Fishman, Trace Elliot, Mesa, and SWR, while hosting just a few Boss pedals on his pedalboard.

"There's a special control on the back, tell us about it." "It's called a 'bolt'."

[@ryanspencerlauderdale687]

Two Boss pedals into the front of the amp. No BS, just shut up and play your guitar. Love it.

[@budgetguitaristcom]

Yeah, me too. He's a fantastic player.

[@blakedawson2129]

This dude is a master tech. Really knows his stuff.

[@ultrajayme]

everything but what the fret board is. haha

[@learnerlearns]

Hey uses this on a song called "come." Right after that, they do "lick my love pump."

[@NolalanD]

Shouldn't they do that one first?

[@TWC12345]

They do "lick my love pump" with there amps to volume 11.

[@joshweigel1131]

Then they do Big Jizz, followed by Load.

[@dominatedrebin]

Just what I was thinking haha

[@zachshiray8998]

At least its not a song called cum

[@derekstocker6661]

A very clever man, says it how it is in a few words but he knows his trade, always admire guitar techs as I have trouble tuning a 12 string but what this guy knows could fill a hall. Great interview. Thanks for this, and I always love to listen to Lindsay's guitar playing, it made FM.

[@scottneedham4871]

The tone and versatility he gets from either the Turner or Taylor is incredible. I just watched the 2003 Boston concert again.

[@bobodewitz8958]

Explaining complex configurations takes a brilliant man. Thanx Stanley.

[@midlifemotox]

I'm very far from brilliant,, but thanks. Just a man with a bad hangover, trying to explain the rig.

[@cbbmusic]

Cracks me up when he says this is used on a song called and then sighs pauses and says come...

[@dankot87]

he uses it on a song called "come"......

[@guitardudeproducts]

Nicely done Stanley. Lindsey is no easy chore! Keep up the good work my brother!

[@heliobluesrock]

Premier Guitar's Rig Rundown is my favorite channel ever!

[@danrubenstein2898]

Wow. That guitar tech earns his keep!

[@yobhsiFehT]

Why'd it take me so long to watch this rig rundown?? This is one of the coolest I've seen in a long time! So many rock guys all seem to have basically the same three variations on the same three rigs:P More power to him!

[@rijosigns]

and give the the guy a break he's a guitar tech they very rarely get interviewed

[@veerchasm1]

rich or drink water

[@DiatonicVids]

Those Model Ones are probably the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen.

[@BigTyronie]

To me they look like a platypus

[@dnbjmd]

This guys mouth is making the sound of Macaroni and Cheese.

[@LordB0NER]

I don't know why but that cracked me up

[@dnbjmd]

Am i wrong tho?! dude I cant listen to it without thinking about mac n cheese. weirding myself out.

[@Thekrizzlybear420]

I read this comment and couldn't watch another second of the video... The guy has Kraft Mouth for sure..

[@LordB0NER]

You're not wrong lmao. I hear it too. I just didn't realize he actually sounded like that until I came across your comment.

[@jgwire]

yeah, he needs some water....bet his breath is rank...

[@noname1st139]

I could spend all day getting showed a pros setup, this is a bit of a Frankenstein rig, Crazy, thoroughly enjoyed Jason 👍

[@KleylaFamilyBand]

I think it explains why his licks are so unique. Using different tunings forces the player to do new things.

[@davedropd1]

Those turners he plays look like an electric violin very cool.... Never seen another player use them.... And his taylors are gorgeous......

[@stevielaurence1625]

john mayer uses them

[@yojimboeastwood5602]

Jerry Garcia used the first one called peanut.

[@AutumnOakMusic]

Just recently saw Lindsey a couple months ago on this tour, it was just him but you could see his tech from the side of the stage passing him a new guitar like every song so it's funny to get a look at what was really going on back there lol he had fantastic tone though, great solo stuff he's come out with!

[@babywithacrowbar]

I love his acoustic guitars they always looked amazing

[@vanillagorilla8236]

I watched him play from first row at twitter center in nj with fleetwood Mac and he is the best I have ever seen live, and I have gone to a shit load of concerts mostly at the old Philadelphia Spectrum.

[@westbayk2156]

Spectrum !

[@marcusc4828]

I like the sound the Turner's make. it's a unique guitar

[@paddy9i99]

Tech seems like a good guy actually. Whilst he's not exactly media trained, his skills are guitars and amps, I would guess

[@chriss2452]

Media trained?

[@wolfie316781]

Lindsay is an alien period. some of these tunings are wild and super cool of course

[@miaouew]

Fleetwood Mac isn't in my CD player and I'm not a mega fan of Lindsey, being a metalhead/lover of jazz fusion...but damn those Rick Turners are interesting guitars. Way ahead of their time. They remind me of a super high end boutique experimental piece from a premium luthier in the 2010s

[@kpec3]

All this gear could make you Go Insane...

[@shakeyperspective3981]

Give this dude some water!!

[@KeeperOfPoops]

lmao

@@widowmaker5544 Pocket texts...

[@hamletrex]

sure, and hee also uses digitech whammy, compression sustainer, and amps fender twin reverb & sears silvertone. but it would be nice to see all the little deatils and stories about gear an guitars in premierguitar style

[@smaug1234]

notice the string tree on the first one, there was also one on the prototype one, I find those little details interesting, wish they talked about that

[@LokkieF]

He used to play on a white Les Paul Custom only. That was in a time when he made terrific music.

[@matthewcurtiss7557]

Nice wave woody setup. Love the sandals

[@dirkfoley1]

thanks for pluggin them in and showing some tones etc. oy

[@jameseverall]

A david gilmour rig rundown would be awesome, but would probably take 48 hours to get through...:-)

[@seandyer4151]

James Everall gilmourish.com is as close as it gets for now !

[@MrObelisk2290]

And probably won't tour again, saw him with floyd in 87, 88, and 94 solo in 2016

[@patrickthometz6365]

Same as Alex Lifeson

[@Dutchman7691]

Proud that Premier Guitar is from Iowa!!!! IA!!!!

[@hamletrex]

yeah I saw it, but there is nothing at all about Jack's equipment, only that segment where he builds simplified guitar. and The Edge just explains the way he came up with elevation riff. although that movie was a great inspiration to me

[@everythingyoudwanttoknow]

Fire the cameraman...

[@mattr2128]

Never listened to Lindsey that much, but those Turner's are beautiful!

[@Olegzyan]

cool! I wish I had this stuff!

[@kw3900]

I love my Taylor, best guitar I ever had.

[@HeartbreakerGuitars]

great video...

[@veerchasm1]

I volunteer to buy Premiere a de-esser...or an ADR session

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

is there a vdo ever when lindsay played ' never going back on his Model 1 ?

[@HorsepowerHouse]

Amazing stuff on there. WHO KNEW?

[@MusicStuffSome]

Nice such an awesome underrated guitarist!

[@MrSimondaniel3]

i agree, i see those in so many rigs. That pedal turned me off to delay pedals for a long time. then i tried the carbon copy.

[@youmanot123]

All these different tunings are real proof that Lindsey can "Go his own way".

[@AllenGarberGuitarFun]

Yep...I hadn't made it to that part of the video yet and I thought it was weird how they skipped over the Gibson at first...I guess they edited that part for time because they did eventually cover just that guitar as you say...

[@christophermckinney4756]

it's interesting after watching several of these, that when asked what do all the knobs on the guitar do? the tech will say, they're all by-passed, all that's working is volume and tone... Hmmm, might be a reason there.

[@jasonlee8497]

Those guitars are crazy nice

[@2000om28v]

Nice rundown, Jason does a good job. Stanley's lip smackin' and no eye contact = a couple rails before the cameras were rolling!

[@antmallett6065]

Maybe 3 rails...one electrified.

[@samwattles4936]

Beat rock band yellow submarine album

[@mickwade9499]

Laughed out loud at this. You, sir, win the internet.

[@marknorris3769]

dang nice rig, impressive tech !

[@Theweeze100]

mark norris Very impressive!!!

[@SEBBY_SHREDZ_BOI]

It's interesting that Lindsey doesn't use the parametric EQ on his Model-1s yet he still has them on the guitars, because that guitar really bites when it's overdriven,

[@j29g99]

I was thinking the exact same thing. I'm going to have to go over some videos of him. Must be his rig because it has always sounded like he used it

[@PonyboyInNewZealand]

Interesting. He was using the DD5 for years... wonder why he switched to the DD3?

[@AllenGarberGuitarFun]

Pretty funny how they skipped the Gibson Chet Atkins Cutaway Electric Classical guitar that he uses on "Big Love". Rick Turner sponsored the video, so I can see why they skipped it, but the Chet Atkins is no longer in production. Rick is a super cool guy and I believe his Renaissance guitars are way better than the Gibson Chet Atkins guitars, both electronically and physically.

[@shaneedmundson7506]

please do a rr on fleetwood mac! im sure its been discussed, but now that mike c and neil finn are in the group, im even more interested in their rr!

[@davidevans3175]

(@ 7:50) I try and put a lot of lube on the nuts too.

[@Vee_Sheep]

Sounds a bit rude.

[@moxiemusic3739]

sounds like a good idea to me

[@inquisitor4635]

Then strap a capo real tight around my neck.

[@wooklites]

Dear camera person, Go home, you're drunk.

[@screamengine]

To the audience it sounds perfect and consistent. The DD-3 is a very solid pedal. The same could be said with the GR-50 synths. Pretty antiquated compared to the VG-99 & GR-55. It's just solid, tried and true reliable gear. Thank god Linds keeps it down to earth, well, except for the Turners! :)

[@screamengine]

Hello Me! It's been a while. So much has happened that you couldn't imagine surviving back then. Hang in there, it will get tolerable if not better some day. I thank you for somehow living and feeling this advice without having read it. :)

[@widowmaker5544]

i thought he also used wah for in the original take of "go your own way" by fleetwood mac, did he do that or is that just my ears playing tricks on me?

[@KeeperOfPoops]

i'm not sure, i haven't listened to the song enough (nah you're hearing things, there's no foot work of a wah in there, but he did double track the solo)

[@MegaRumpelstiltskin]

I'm pretty sure you're right in that he had a wah pushed to a static setting for one of the tracks on that solo. No footwork though.

[@hamletrex]

whatched it, but there is not alot information about his tig, the edge explains a little bit about his process of rig but jack only builds that simple version of guitar

[@ST-xg3gy]

Do any of those guitars never get played?

[@chriss2452]

Would have been nice to hear some of those guitars being played

[@jc5512]

Has a mesa dual rec, runs it clean with an sd1 for distortion. take that amp snobs!

[@JamesShore1990]

How many hours does setting up all that gear??

[@nothwind]

nice job jason

[@thegreatgambeeno]

9:00 he uses that guitar on Big Love

[@yoshipopthelemur]

And what brand is that? Regular.

[@sebadrum16]

You guys gotta do a rig rundown for Peter Hook!

[@justinrulesass]

i did that with a single recto for a while. the clean on a mesa is very underrated, while mesa's drive channels arent very versatile. I just stick to a bassman these days

[@blearious]

For a man that primarily uses a clean tone, the Dual Rectifiers are an odd choice. I understand he's only using the clean channel, but it seems a waste...

[@ericwalters5382]

blearious especially considering their clean channel is a joke.

[@nikolaki]

He's not using the clean channel (or any of the amp's preamp); signal is going straight into the power amp

[@markt5086]

Totally agree! Must be a payday

[@Oceantreasures24]

He has plenty of songs that he rocks and uses distortion. I’m so afraid is one that comes To mind

[@GibsonRocker1958]

You have clearly not heard of "It Might Get Loud"-movie? There you have pretty good rundown from White and Edge! Well, of course not as precise as Premierguitars rig rundowns but at least its something! : >

[@hdstudios178]

but back in the day he used hiwatts and 75 les paul custom with an old preamp from a sony tape deck

[@MegaRumpelstiltskin]

Yessir. Preamp from a Sony TC630 to be exact. Switched to the first Mesa Boogie MKI / II in the late 70s with the Hiwatt cabs and there was a time where he was using Marshall heads with the Hiwatt cabs. Some ppl here are giving him a hard time for using Mesa's even with just a clean tone, though those Mesa's are LOUD with a massive amount of headroom. You don't get that with many other amps.

[@paniccleo]

Did they mention what pickups are in the electrics? Looked like EMGs.

[@stu2983]

Rick Turner winds his own pickups

[@wesleymorris1]

Crazy tunings, very interesting, I like to pick a guitar up a play, experimenting with crazy tunings is not my thing, that tech has alot of work to do.

[@tobaccorich]

Nice job

[@fishyplaybass]

EHX pog as well !

[@ChadVanHalen5150]

Ultracase is the go to guitar stand in all these rig rundowns... Who doesn't use them haha

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Does the guy use any standard tuning ?

[@hamletrex]

I guess you're right. first was the "Meg secret", and now his tone

[@NintendoSinceBirth1]

hes got a new board?

[@MrSlimbob1]

Tuned up a step!??

[@michaelbartholomew8155]

You guys are killing me with the comments on his mouth sounds! Hilarious! Sounds like cottonmouth to me...

[@FuckPedophileBiden]

People that eat Chinese food often sound like this especially if they order the Kum of Sum Yung Guy.

[@ChrsGuit]

I would have loved the explanation on why the knobs on the Boss overdrive have a spring zip tied connecting the center and right knob... almost as if one will adjust the other if turned

[@midlifemotox]

He has a habit of dragging the cable over the knobs and screwing up the settings. . I do this to keep the knobs from moving. I adjust the the output on only one song to get more gain. So,, Hope this answers your question.

[@ChrsGuit]

@@midlifemotox gotcha. I've seen people tape knobs or add rubber beer washers under the knobs but never the spring setup...

[@midlifemotox]

@@ChrsGuit Neil Schon uses foam under his guitar knobs... Whatever it takes.

[@ChrsGuit]

@@midlifemotox I used to just gob electrical tape on mine... Even if I didn't like the settings' sound in a certain venue, it was staying 😂

[@midlifemotox]

@@ChrsGuit I do that as well. I use gaff,, It docent gum up like electrical tape. I also make the settings with a paint marker.

[@widowmaker5544]

where is lindsey buckingham? this is a rig rundown of lindsey buckingham right? i can't see him, just stanley lamendola

[@javiceres]

Lindsey is just something else down there his rig.

[@marcusc4828]

what the hell is a open 7th chord?

[@SimAlex20000]

right? insane

[@nikolaki]

open tuning on the guitar is a 7th chord.

[@ethanlancaster76]

Nikolaki A yes, but what chord is it? That’s the point of the comment, I believe.

[@joshlovegood9392]

from what i gather it'd be an open d for example, with the 7th note of d major being one of the open strings.. so i'm guessing instead of DAGDAD or something similar, perhaps DAGC#AD ??

[@ethanlancaster76]

Josh Lovegood I believe you are correct my man. Have you ever heard of the Hawaiian A tuning? Very beautiful when used for electric guitar, especially when using a slide. It’s the original tuning for a lap steel, I believe. EAEAC#E. Very cool to experiment with and play around with until you get used to it. And you will always find your tonic on the 5th fret. ✌️

[@pschroeter1]

I didn't recognize any of those guitars and most of the equipment.

[@jwstout007]

So many model ones!!!

[@robinsonkirby]

Kinda wish Lindsey brought out his Les Paul Custom & Tele for this tour….
