Before their first night of back-to-back sold-out shows at Nashville’s Mother Church, guitarist/singer Trevor Terndrup and guitarist/keyboardist Spencer Thomson (above left) grabbed their trusty Gibsons and demoed-much to the chagrin of the Ryman sound police-how their live rigs that embrace the old and new of guitar technology.
Moon Taxi’s frontman, Trevor Terndrup, is a fan of symmetry as you can see with his No. 1 being a Gibson Les Paul Doublecut Classic P-90 goldtop that has been his main squeeze since 2012 when it replaced an emerald green LP Doublecut Classic. It’s been a true road warrior until a recent gig in Seattle where Trevor found the neck pickup complete dislodged from its cavity and resting against the strings. He’s since replaced the necessary screws and it’s flying at full strength again. All of his guitars use Ernie Ball Slinky .009-.042 strings.
The lone guitar Spencer Thomson trusts is this Gibson 1964 ES-345 reissue that he acquired about a year ago and has since replaced his Strat and Les Paul for most live situations. We’d love to tell you the strings he has on it, but Thomson loves old strings and hasn’t broken or changed a string since he got the guitar. He loves messing with the varitone knob in the studio, but typically only uses the 1st position. He recorded two tracks for their current single “Two High” with the 345 in the 1st position and the 7th and then combined them for a full, rich sound.

That double cut gold top LP with p90s is going to keep me up at night. I never knew such a thing existed. Want.
You sure ? Those are very expensive, can get a double cut with P90's from other brands for much better prices.
A really enjoyable Rundown. Nice to see a guitarists really go through all of his FX and show exactly how they're used in each song. I also leave on the reverb on my amp for colour and usually always have a Chorus pedal running just to add some thickness.
Thanks. I️ always appreciate everything pro guitarists have to share about their sound and journey. I get to play straight into an amp and crank it on some jobs and other gigs have to model, go in ears, and duplicate tons of delays and reverbs! So, again, thanks!
Another excellent Rig Rundown. I watch these whether I know the band or not. You guys are turning me into a gear nerd.
A year without changing strings?! That seems pretty crazy to me. It's always great to see people embracing new technology in the guitar world. Great video!
At 15.50 why did i laugh so much at that guy gliding in on the hover board
Nice to see someone doing something different with gear, whatever floats your boat man
Please do a part 2 soon with Tommy’s bass rundown.
First positive vid I've seen for the new Fender GT amps
DirtyBluesStank Yeah same here .. its good to see something other than uber expensive super moded boutique amps for a change.
and the last
I've waited 6 long years since 2012 to finally know how he did the intro to Hypnus.
The music store here has one of those telecasters that’s been there for years. It’s still brand new
The dotted 8th thing is from an obscure guitarist by rhe name of The Edge from a band called U2...
PLEASE DO A RUNDOWN OF THE NATIONAL!!
Love the LP double cut! Gibson needs to make them again
And the Tele’s too
I thought a double-cut Tele would be ugly, but it's actually pretty awesome! Also using the Mustangs is a cool thing to see.
Man, that thing made an impression on me, too!
Those Ryman shows seriously rocked, but seeing Trevor explain how Hypnus is played only makes it more disappointing that they didn’t play it!
Seriously, that Shure Wireless is the bomb. 16 hours of play on a rechargeable battery that can be charged by plugging the transmitter in to any USB powered bus for on the go charging. Great that it can sit on the pedalboard and the tuner is responsive and accurate.
Why does the second guitarist sound like hes going to cry the whole time he talks?
all the good band names are officially taken, this name proves it.
Love the guy not changing his strings. Love old strings.
Great RRD - I think the 2nd guy was a little nervous but both are really enthusiastic about gear and seem nice dudes and in time they will come to realise - no tubes - no tone!
I've got one of those double cut telecasters
todd shaw
I have one also
Sounds good, why would you change them if you don't have to
Glen Fricker would love the second guy with the old strings :D
I was like "damn, what's with all the dislikes? this dude is pretty cool" and then the second guy kicks in
It’s a relief to see a musician on rig rundown with some social skills!
Social skills? What other videos have you been watching?
Please do arcade fire!
can you guys do Asking Alexandria Next !!
Well that’s the first time anyone’s ever called a Ross style comp transparent
Dude Chris you rule! Do Glassjaw at some point, please!!
Would love to - they rip!
I guess he doesn't sweat much on stage because my strings are dead after on show
Chris Hepburn no matter how much you sweat, if you wipe them after the show they will still be ok for a next or two shows
Buy elixirs and save money
Weird rig rundown. Never heard of these guys and they are playing the Ryman for 2 nights. The 345 guys loves recoding through a DI and hasn't changed his strings for over a year and only seems to play the same minor bar chord progression. How did they get this gig. Curious I need to check them out
SweBass can’t wipe them in the middle of a two hour show. Mine are dead after one. There’s a reason bands change them every gig.
@@highcourtcounty6389 That's the point lmao, they have their own sound apparently. Probably how they got this gig.
A Mustang amp?? Man, that you dont sea often. Did he swap the speakers out?
No kidding eh
Not familiar with the band and only watched the first part. Good player and seems like a nice guy. Hopefully I see Fender Deluxe Reissue in his future as far as Amps go.
ZenDriveSeven check out their album “cabaret” pretty cool stuff.
Dumb it down you say 🤔.... volume only and tone wide open 🤘🏽
Really I just want the first dudes boots
www.barker-shoes.co.uk/hopper/
good one
And his girlfriend's hair conditioner. Holy crap that dude is silky smooth from head to toe! 😁
I really don’t understand all the hate, seems like a good run down to me and these guys seem like nice dudes
Cool, yea I think the Allman Brothers played to a click too.
Bawawawawawawawawaw!!!
Has John 5 called you yet for that double cut tele ?! 😋
Not hating, but this seems so sterile with wanting to hide the amps and all. I️ kind of like my rock with a little grit. Thee Oh Sees would be a great rig run down, though probably short.
Who?
Before he was playing a "strat les paul". Makes sense.
Big Muff looks like an analog fox "green muff" with no label....
It does! :D
My bro has that big muff....love your pedals!
cool! thanks!
Fender Mustang GT? Good god.
whats the issue?
@@DavidMacVicar well let’s be honest, it’s a beginner kinda amp. Low priced , not something you see on a rig rundown. Ever. So take it easy tough guy.
@@benallmark9671 what? lol
Add some grit to it @ 12.00 WoW sounds terrible lol which OD is he using there? His cleans are nice. Trevor is a classic 1.5 year old strings! HaHa! You should have done a rig rundown on his shoes with rubber bumpers for foot control of effects @ 30.41 :P They mention here that they always play to a click track. It would have been good to explore that here in the rig rundown even though this of course is probably drummer driven. After this I watch them live in the below link and the drummer seriously drives the band.

Stephen Fry prob the plimsoul that’s on the board, but with all that digital reverb plus digital amp it’s going to sound pretty fizzy/artificial...but who knows, in the band context they prob make it work
The guy has good taste in guitars...I wonder if his mother ever fed him a cheeseburger?
These may be the guys Bonamassa was talking about....
What did joe say?
And you couldn't hear what they were actually playing b/c they had to plug directly into the camera sound feed?! WTH? Is Scott Stapp's dad their tour manager? Hide the beer!! LOL!!!
Ryman has strict sound policies.
It's like watching a deaf person doing an interview about tone.
I can't stand people that play a Gibson 335 and have the guitar strap backwards or just not straight because the strap lock being behind the neck bolts is a weird spot an if the neck is heavy the guitar tends to slide down but it's just annoying to see all twisted up straps
Modelling amps no string changes this is death. This is what elon musk meant improvement is not inevitable just economy's
This guy is using a delay for his dotted eighth notes, meanwhile I’m here spending hours and hours learning to arpeggiate properly. Oddly he felt quite proud he is able to sound better than he actually is
💤💤💤💤
That Tele Doublecut looks so shitty.
I wonder how their pursuit of a "silent stage" is gonna work next time somebody with a real amp tries to sit in with them. I figure they got free gear/endorsements. Also whiney butt with the 2 year old strings was probably getting headaches. I predict he'll eventually force the band to play to backing tracks like Metro Station! LOL!!!!!! Moon Taxi=Emo Jam Band! LOL!!!
rknprs Probably just fine
Man that second guy is just awful.
metelegerald how so?
Can’t comment on the bands music as I’ve never heard of them, but that Fender GT amp has to be one of the worst sounds I’ve ever heard on a rig rundown. 😔
That double cut tele is atrocious
This is all nice but Premier guitar...you gotta draw the line somewhere. Have you heard this band's music?? Terrible
These guys aren’t true guitarists at all.. they barely know crap about their guitars and why they truly use the gear they have.
Well I’m betting on that they know more then you do. After all you haven’t had a rig rundown from Primer Guitar have you ?
My forehead is bruised from hitting the keyboard. Most boring RRD eva!
