In just seven years since meeting based on a recommendation, Eric Burton and Adrian Quesada formed the Black Pumas, released two albums, and have already been nominated for seven Grammys. However, this fruitful friendship was almost never developed.
Quesada was enrolled at the University of Texas but flunking out due to his dedication to guitar over textbooks. His parents gave him a proposition: Either stay home in Laredo, or return to Austin without a guitar in hand to focus on studying. He went with option B and headed back for school in Austin-or so his parents thought. Quesada took his remaining book money (about $200) and headed to Ray Hennig’s Heart of Texas, where he snagged a Squier Telecaster Thinline. His parents eventually figured out the switcheroo, but Quesada was determined and hasn’t looked back. (Side note: The family obviously sees and supports his musical talents, and attended Black Pumas’ Ryman show the night before the filming of this Rig Rundown.)
That matador move pulled off by Quesada allowed him to become a longtime fixture in the Austin music scene with bands Brownout, Ocote Soul Sound, Spanish Gold, Echocentrics, and Grupo Fantasma (with whom he played for over 15 years, earning a 2011 Grammy for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album). He started to explore new ideas that didn’t fit the mold for Grupo, and needed someone to narrate his musical vistas. A friend recommended he link up with Austin newcomer Eric Burton, who traded his busking spot on the Santa Monica pier for the bright lights of Sixth Street. The duo met up, and as the results prove, the rest is history.
Before the Black Pumas’ second headlining show at the Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville, bandleader Adrian Quesada, bassist Brendan Bond, and band tech Bryan Wilkinson invited PG’s Chris Kies into the hallowed grounds for a chill conversation about their tonal tools. During our time with the Black Pumas, we learned about Quesada’s love for tremolo (he even included it as a secret weapon in a semi-hollow Jazzmaster), Bond’s fateful trip to the Wilco Loft in Chicago, and why a ’59 ES-125 is Wilkinson’s perfect pairing with Burton’s expressive and emotive voice.

The introduction segment is a great addition to these! Nice work as usual
Glad you like them!
Dear mr. Brendan Bond,
The bridge on your 74 P is the original/ period correct one (obvious, because of the slightly oversized bridge saddle screw on the G-string).
The two holes you’re referring to are actually there for the metal bridge cover that used to sit over the bridge.
Kind regards!
😉
I appreciate the lead-in intro you did to this...some of the different things you've seen, a couple stories, etc. Would love it if each rundown included something similar.
Another good one, as usual. I just wish Eric Burton would have been able to be interviewed. Busy or shy, he's a great guy.
Me literally discovering music because of rig rundowns, thank you
I would definitely be interested in a squire version of that Jazzmaster
As promised. Thank you!
You're welcome!
I just laid down some tracks at Adrian’s studio, he’s got some great gear and that 446 is amazing
I love eV12L speakers and that white coffee can speaker is amazing!
‘Resonance.’ That’s the word he was looking for.
The bass player seems to be a really nice guy!
I’m not gonna say for sure that one made its way all the way down to Austin on its own or anything. Or that fender didn’t make some for other stores, but that blue tolex DRRi was sold as an exclusive up here in Canada for years as a Long & McQuade exclusive. Long & McQuade being our version of a music big box store like Guitar Center
Was there a delay releasing this, or do you do these on Thursdays now?
Just a delay. Copyright issue. Still dropping Rig Rundowns on Wednesdays!
"resonation"
Exactly what I was thinking! Like, "Have I imagined the word Resonance?!"
He dropped school for music 😁
Everyone already mention Phil Lesh playing trumpet too?
Guitars are like a hot chick.
They reject you and break your heart.
46:10 almost as fab as Wilkinson Rig Rubdown for the LustKillers ;) cheers Bdub!
