I just looked at the rundown on your website. A little correction needs to be made. Her Fender amp is a Pro Junior, not a Blues Junior. 10” speaker. She calls it a Junior, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Blues Junior. Even Carolyn says it has only 2 knobs, volume and tone. 🤙

[@premierguitar]

You're right, Cian! We've updated our website. Thanks for the help.

[@CianRourke]

@@premierguitar Good deal! Rock on!

[@jennifer6833]

@@premierguitar what about interviewing Larkin Poe on their rig rundowns?

[@tommc49]

Carolyn is true Texas treasure. I've been a fan since I first saw her when she was very young. I hope signing with Alligator gets her many more fans. She is a road warrior.

[@tonypetrillo3488]

Absolutely love the Blueshawk. I have had one for years... and Carolyn makes it sound awesome!!!

[@parkerfilms1]

I first met Carolyn, and got to work with her, in May, 2009 at Michael Nesmith's "Music Rise" (the first live music festival in a virtual world!), then worked with her again in March, 2001 when Nesmith's VR3D went to Austin (only about a week after her wedding). Aside from being an indescribably great guitarist, she is possibly the kindest, sweetest, most genuine person I have ever met. And she is so genuinely humble! Aside from being one of the true highlights of my 40+ year video career, meeting her is a true highlight of my life as a human being. She really is that nice! It brings me great joy to see her getting some long deserved recognition!

[@TheLarsonmanor]

Fantastic interview. Carolyn is one talented passionate soul. I love her music and lots of success with Alligator Records.

[@premierguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@darinmiller842]

I was not familiar with Carolyn before this Rig Rundown. She was great! Really enjoyed hearing her talk about her gear, and her experiences! And shout out to Ted too!

[@premierguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Teachering]

Carolyn Wonderland is a very nice lady. Very humble and happy. I'd love to sit in and listen to her play.

[@premierguitar]

We agree!

[@evalonious]

I just downloaded Carolyn's album "Moon Goes Missing!" I'm in love all over again! So glad to discover you Carolyn! I will share your music with everyone I know! Absolutely great Rig Rundown!

[@premierguitar]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@THEjohnnyfalstaff]

Awesome! Great to see Carolyn!

[@premierguitar]

Thanks for watching!

[@redklaydert7236]

Wow. She has been simmering deep in the stew with all the great ingredients. Pure and simple gear. Great soul and embraced by icons. Dedication, knowledge, talent.

[@Mrtruthofguitar]

Best interviewer at Premier! The others aren't even close. Great questions, demeanor, very informative and he actually knows about guitar. Fine job, just like the old days...

[@rexnavarro2918]

Carolyn Wonderland? Never heard of her..But now I have. Thank You Premier Guitar for giving such wonderful Artist as Carolyn the exposure and introduction to those of us who maybe would not have had a chance to hear such great players. Listening to her music and performances now..very Cool..DIG IT!

[@premierguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Mike-hr6jz]

This is the most underrated singer songwriter guitar player but she is one of the best.

[@otherstar1]

I've been a fan of hers since I first saw her at Danelecto's in Houston around 2006 or so. She also had a Thinline Tele and a purple Les Paul. She's awesome!

[@berniese7841]

Carolyn is a great and a very nice woman / greetings from Sweden

[@cmsquared63]

What an absolutely lovely person. Wow.

[@tps1020]

An impressive artist she is

[@11calman]

Woiw, what a great young lady, love her style & sound Welcome to New Zealand mate

[@kateruckus]

This lady is cool. 😎

[@GerryBlue]

Great rundown, and in 60fps!

[@benlogan430]

She’s the stuff! Excellent rundown!

[@billpage8175]

Saw her twice . Once at the neighborhood South Austin 'Barn Dance's potluck done monthly. And secondly at a record store in Houston. Both small venues with no screaming crowds just the way I like it. And boy that girl can sing.

[@simaojoseph]

What a sweet person! Really enjoyed this rundown. Thanks PG.

[@BaldPerspective]

Nice shirt Ted!!! I have the same exact one, except in solid purple.

[@mikeet207]

I sold Gibson Nighthawks back in the 90's. They were always a curiosity, but they played and sounded great.

[@reverbdeluxe]

My friend had a 3 pickup nighthawk with a push/pull pot. Great guitar. I think they are way underrated.

[@Lalairu]

"Just a little stabby stabby" XD what a lovely woman. Didn't know her, a wonderful discovery for sure!

[@billyraylaray]

I was privledged to see Carolyn with John Mayall at the Rialto Theater in Tucson in February 2020, one of the last concerts I saw before everything shut down. I saw Mayal twice back in '68 and '70 in Germany and he still has his chops, amazing for his age. But Carolyn blew me away, i was so impressed by her technique and the tones she wrung out of that little guiitar, I figured out what it was and bought one jusdt like it on line. Thanks PG for profiling her, she is deserving of more recognition! I look forward to her new album.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

She's got style. Get it, queen.

[@OliverAmberg]

What a great guitarist and what a tasty rig. And her singing is as good as her playing.

[@wmrustycox]

Phenomenal player ! Btw love those P90s... dog ear or soap bar... great great pickups

[@livingestudiolivesessions5787]

Love the host! Such a good vibe! ..PG you can let go John B now hehe

[@tattoofred]

Very simple but cool sounds ;)

[@marcofontes3074]

Sweet!

[@voyxu143]

The Blueshawk does not have P-90's. They are a special pickup made for the guitar called a Blues 90. One would think Premier guitar would get some info like that correct on their video.

[@Stretchgood366]

Actually not P-90's, Blues 90's if I remember right, made special for the Blues Hawk, they also have a third dummy coil on back that acts as a humbucker when in single coil mode, with a push/pull to turn the selectomatic off and on. As far as Carolyn saw her first around 2000 and fell in love instantly, so sweet, humble and absolute beast on guitar and very approachable!

[@dmmedic34]

True- they are Blues 90s. I have them on my Blueshawk- not a big fan though. Very low output

[@Stretchgood366]

I switch between guitars quite a bit and I haven't noticed much of a difference.

[@erickleefeld4883]

This is a mistake people make about the Blues Hawk: The pickups are NOT P-90s. They use individual alnico rod magnets as pole pieces, like a regular Fender single-coil, not a P-90 with its bar magnets and screw pole pieces. Their construction is more like a Telecaster bridge pickup inside a P-90 housing, plus some further changes to the signal that come from the hum-canceling dummy coil. (The later Epiphone reissues have actual P-90s, plus the dummy coil.)

[@bb_lz9790]

That was a fun Rig Rundown, thanks!! Looking at the Tone I/O, I presume that the A20 is like the Vibrato channel of a Deluxe Reverb (or a 20 watt Princeton Reverb with a 12 in. speaker). Their website doesn't really say much.

[@adriang5555]

It's based on the Princeton circuit, with some tweaks. The tremolo is the same circuit as the Princeton vibrato circuit, with some minor changes to component values to enhance it based on the fact that the Alpha-20 has a fixed adjustable bias instead of a fixed bias like the Princeton has, and bias affects the tremolo operation. (Adrian from Tone I/O here:)

[@sishtx_anxiety]

You guys should do a rig rundown of Wes Borlands rig !!!

[@FrancRobert]

The slide look s like a Diamond Slide, made by Ian McWee over in England-looks a lot like my Doug MacLeod model (different color though!) Likely made out of crystal, not glass, it has a different tone than glass or metal...

[@wittvonwitt4403]

Why have i not heard of her?!

[@williamhoyte2380]

that’s such a humble little rig

[@simondoutre6225]

This guy has come straight from the kids section at Cotton On and bought the T, Jeans, undies combo. The Fedora is from D&D night though. 'Hi fellow teens'

[@John_Doe657]

A very cool lady 🙂
