So, what lead to The Black Keys ending their unannounced hiatus? Well, for Auerbach, it was the same guitar that started the ascent up this crazy rollercoaster-Glenn Schwartz’s 10-string hollowbody. James Gang and Eagles ace Joe Walsh was jamming with Auerbach at Easy Eye and the two brought up Schwartz and how his ferocious playing impacted them both. Auerbach spent any free time he had during high school to make the trek from Akron to Cleveland to see Schwartz play. Walsh coincidentally looked to Glenn as a guitar hero and eventually took over for him in the James Gang when Schwartz left the band, moved to California, and formed Pacific Gas & Electric. (You can see the trio of guitarists jam at Nashville’s famed Robert’s back in 2016.)

Auerbach and Walsh got Schwartz down to Nashville to record him at Easy Eye Sound Studio. The session was inspiring and provided Auerbach the visceral memory of why he loved the Black Keys. The next day he called Carney, they put a session on the books and Let’s Rock was made.
Premier Guitar made the comfortable drive south to Atlanta’s State Farm Arena to not only check in with Auerbach’s longtime tech Dan Johnson, but the guitar master himself makes a cameo to talk all things guitar, including Glenn’s aforementioned 10-string that was loaned to him after a recent Cleveland gig. Other 6-string highlights include a gold-foil-loaded Peavey Razer gunning for the T-Model Ford mojo, a lawsuit-era Ibanez SG, a custom-build (by Dan Johnson) that echoes back to industry heavyweight Paul Bigsby, and surprisingly enough, a ’59 burst. While there, we also spoke with new bandmembers Delicate Steve, and the Gabbard brothers (Andy and Zach who are also 2/3 of the Buffalo Killers) from Akron, who all show off the goodies they bring to the arenas to back their longtime buds.

Thanks for sharing all this stuff!
"We changed the pickups, changed the tuners, changed the knobs, added a bigsby, did a re-fret..." "It is what it is though" lol that comment made me chuckle
Triggers broom
If I am not mistaken . Those Band Master heads were mine . Worked on by my good and late friend and Amp Guru . Denis Squillacote . They are killer . Miss him , everyday . Glad , they ended up in good hands .
That is soooooo cool.
Love how everyone falls silent when the LP comes out
Play Authentic...
Dexter Rutecki 😂
The sustain - listen to it.
Dexter Rutecki potent slam, friend
Excalibur
ONE OWNER '59?! great score, cant wait to hear what kind of magic Dan is able to conjure with it!
It's so cool how Dan defers to his tech for so much of the rundown. They both are such technicians of guitar and tone. Great rundown.
It’s fun to watch their joint love of guitars and weird stuff play out on screen. What a great duo!
I liked the rundown with just the tech better. He's a funny guy
Dan himself doing a rig rundown. What a legend. Thank you Premier guitar!
Coolest Ibanez I’ve ever seen
That is an Ibanez even the bluesiest Blues Lawyer could appreciate
Cedar Bay you gonna have a good time seeing the 70s japanese guitars then, tokai Ibanez and orvilles are cool birds to be seen
I’ve been looking for a good set in neck, Japanese lawsuit era Les Paul but it seems like the secret is out about how great they can be because the prices have gone up.
Hell yea Dan actually shows his gear this is awesome!!!
better than the original versions fo'sho, i hate when techs do everything
@@KeeperOfPoops Agreed. Although Dan Johnson is pretty cool I dont mind him.
@@Joemommas I'd watch Dan Johnson host a youtube series about guitar repair.
@@alexstewart839 Right that would be awesome
Dan's.
Fantastic, artists who care enough about the fans and their gear to be present and to present the rig along with the tech with the detailed backup. This just adds to TBK’s relevance and longevity.
You're right, It is cool. But to be fair, if you get in the business of writing, recording, and playing music, it doesn't mean you don't care about your fans if you don't want to personally go over every inch of every one of your guitars for an internet video a couple hours before you're getting ready to take the stage.
A lot of artist love watching other bands rig rundowns.
That white Japanese guitar looks like the flying microtonal banana
yeah the one king gizzard used xd
I jizz for the gizz
My thought exactly
*Rattlesnake intensifies*
Nah the king gizz guitar and that guitar are both copies of the same kawaii
Very cool that Dan actually hung out.
What a unique arsenal of geetars. I love when people go way outside the typical gear. Queens of the stone age also comes to mind with their weird gear lol.
I saw them back in September after having got the tickets for my older brother’s birthday and they put on a great show, I’ve been a huge fan of the Keys for a long time and Dan is one of my favourite modern guitarists. Such a great player and a hell of an awesome frontman as well, all three Black Keys Rig Rundowns are some of my absolute favourites to go back and watch
I got to see them in September when they were in Chicago and it was the coolest experience of my life. So happy that you guys did another rundown with these guys
most eclectic group of guitars i have seen on a rig rundown. Dan is the man
To be honest, it's a huge bummer we didn't get a chance to look at his pedal setup to note the changes.
Go back to the previous rig rundowns. It's pretty much the same.
@@BrentHarmon I figured, its just fun to see and compare
He said its the same.
I feel the same way
He actually said on the last rig rundown that it was the same- but it wasn’t. It’s the minor changes that make things really fun. Dan is a huge pedal guy and tried some different things in this last album- it would be fun to see if he added anything from his studio board.
a great mish mash of players and gear..good too see everyone has a different personality and on stage it comes together to do one thing...ROCK!
Love this. That a golden-era LP is now in Dan Auerbach's hands. Because it has so much more to give than the Marshall stack rut. I can't wait to hear what he does with this one. Feel the same about Red Eye getting into the hands of Jason Isbell. Stay out of the murder holes, fellas. Just keep moving up the beach and make Mr. Paul smile down from above.
The faded colour of that 59 looks pretty beautiful to me
The original T-Model Ford guitar is displayed in the Highway 61 Blues Museum in Leland Mississippi. I visited it in August and it's signed and exhibited with his MXR Micro Chorus, his hat and lots of other things. Or at least I'm assuming it's the real thing…
What a great way to start off the rundown with a homage to Glenn. Cleveland pride right there, and Dan you continue to give me guitar envy
I used to see him every week at Hooples in the 90s. He used to preach to us lol
SO glad to see a big player like Dan and Jason and Joe show their own stuff. Thank you guys. This was great.
Dan seems super humble
binface9 He’s kind of built this reputation over the years as being a smug asshole but I met him last year in Austin during the Easy Eye tour and he was such a nice and unassuming dude. We started talking guitars and music and you can tell he’s such a guitar nerd and music guru. Very down to earth.
He has massive balls bring that 59 on tour with him.
Greetings from Y-town. I played often in Akron and Cleveland decades ago. I know of Glenn. I've listened to Glenn's stuff. He was weird, talented player.
an hour long rig rundown....... god is good!
Ibanez Lawsuit Era SG.....you are my goal in life.
Dear god, a Garnet!? My first amp was a Garnet combo, never thought I'd see one in a pro's rig. Mine had a great dirty blues sound.
That 59 is the value of a house
More like two or three houses. I mean even 150k for someone my age (26) is alot for a house. 500k for a 59 burst
@daniel laurence noob question, what parts are so costly?
I wish houses were only $400k where I live.
@@RTCLR123 not the parts used in 1959, it's the craftsmanship of that particular year. Something magical happened around that time. The value now is a result of the rarity of them, the mystique, and some are truly magical.
damn, such cool gear. amazing
56:30 " 3 of you guys blowing at the same time." Gave me a chuckle! Thank me later!
Awesome, cheers Dans
Wish Richard Swift were still with us. Super underrated and would have loved to hear his input on playing with the Keys
Dan loves Bigsby tremolos. I would too if I had a guitar tech. And that 1959 Gibson Les Paul!!!WOW!!!!!
Seeing all these Ohio boy's on stage makes me proud to be from Ohio . Ohio is a really diverse state . If you go from Cleveland to Cincinnati and talk to the people in the rural area's you would understand .
İ can buy a really nice guitar with the total money of his guitars' straps.
Dan seems really down to earth love his attraction to different guitars and thinking out of the normal,the tech dan is tanked up but thats ok with me if he didnt know what he was doing he wouldnt be there lol all good for me ,everything Daniel has major mojo so awesome, im the same way love old amps and guitars and not always name brands ,finding your own sound and using old vintage equpiment is the way to go for me
I am also a "shape" guitar guy. I love V's, firebirds, mockingbirds, etc
Dan Auerbach is the definition of “being different to be different.”
if that's meant as a slight, yes. Lol
I get it but it’s far more interesting than another Gibson Marshall thing. Very educational.
Playing blues with Les Pauls and SG’s doesn’t sound like being different to be different to me?
Excellent loved this episode
haha, I dont really know who Joe Bonamassa is, thanks for that Steve. @34:07
that probably hurt the PG staff's ears since they suck him off so hard all the time
Why the hate on JB? Never really got that.
@@rockarena666 seems like people hate on him because he has a impressive collection
Thank you for not shoving microphones in the musicians and techs faces.
Dan is one of if not the best guitar tech in the biz
Saw them in Phoenix this year. I knew the 59 was something great. I thought the Peavy Razor was a reverse Flying V though. They brought out their electric chair at the encore, I remember feeling electrified in my seat. I thought what a great concept, the transition of mainstream rock and roll, rock out in your seat. TBK do it best!
Damn lighting techs. You guys surely got some good leads for follow up stories from this one.
Pretty cool that Dan does his own Rig Rundown.
Love how he plays and enjoys old-school guitars not just the 2 boring mass produced brands everyone else uses
Gibson and Fender are the best!
Guess that’s why he’s called Delicate Steve instead of Eloquent Steve...
OK, OK, I use nines because Jimmy Page used nines. So sue me.
If tremolos/bigsbys tuning technic are considered too boring to be explained in a Rig Rundown, so we won't have it anywhere else!! Please call him back and ask for it!
Thank you anyway, The Black Keys is a big name in guitar geek universe ^^
My sediments exactly!
@@MGordon514 the word you said means dirt in a river . You meant sentiments
I've got one of those early Peavey Razer's definitely early 1980s, It's an interesting and cool guitar. Really cool to see that Dan has the same guitar, but mine is the Gold one.
I finally got to have a look at all saved freaks band, Glen Schwartz's guitar has it's own unique tone,now I see!
I love listening to musicians talk about their Amps and pedals...its a real insight into how they get their tone...song to song. Hate listening to them talk about their guitars it's like when someone talks about their kids for hours on end....
Zach is the chillest dude alive
My biggest regret of selling a guitar was my 83' Peavey Mystic.It was in the same family of that guitar they had 3 unusual shapes and my dad bought it for me in 83'after his friend had it for only 3 months.I played it for a couple years but had to have a strat or Les Paul and looking back the Mystic was a great US made guitar with those very hot razor blade pickups.
These are the tour guitars. They're for beating up. These guys keep their most precious guitars for the studio work.
Like that beater ‘59 burst?
It’s a 59’ les Paul there is always something to discover!!! So cool to see Dan with a fuckn awesome Gibson finally
Too true!! I see other people commenting on the fact that he does his own rig rundown. It's great to see artists excited about their gear
Cool selection of guitars - I love those old Japanese Les Paul copies.
Love my Peavey Razer!
Please do a FOALS Rig Rundown!
Yeah, man and we sniffed that varnish!
Zach Gabbard's voice is exactly what I imagine when I see him.
Rig Rundown. AKA: The Dan Johnson Story Hour
Love how the guy on the right (a little high?) is doing all the talking while the the "guy" in the middle is the instrument fetcher.
Finally
That d'Addario intro grinds my gears 😬
I knew this guy was gonna have cool guitars
Gibson call that green V Olive drab green. It's a limited run along with a Les Paul, an Explorer and a Firebird. All these models have been done in this Olive drab green color and they are limited editions. I know this because he stated that he got it for the tour he was on and that coincides with the release of this run of Olive drab green Guitars by Gibson. I think there is a 335 in this color too.
Zak knows that me and flatwounds go back a long way. People used to laugh at me when I'd go into old music stores, back in the 70's and buy all their old flatwound stock lying dusty in their back rooms.
the drummer obviously plays guitar as well...I should have done my research.been loving these guys ever since the first started.at first its confronting with the drummers "interference" but the guitar player is fine with it....what a great band
The aging coloration on that '59 pickguard is something else....
So, cool.
i have a vintage ibanez strat copy with a p90s style pickups that Junior Kimbrough used
10:58 Pure Legend
I remember how this tech of Dan's used to look in one of the older rundowns... All posh looking, in a suit, tidy hair, he looked like a bartender almost.
Now look at him, after a few years of rock n roll :D
🔥🔥🔥
Dan the Man!
I miss the green and black custom kraft from the turn blue era
I miss it too
Dan seems like he's some where between a half a joint and two lines of coke..
No he doesn't.
D Jefferson this isn’t the 80’s, these guys are just standard weird musicians who smoke weed
wich Dan?....^^
bit more than that id say..but hey seems to know his shit :)
Kajjjajaj
Love that he could afford those custom shops but would just use any guitar that one might find on a pawnshop
kinda, that tech is essentially a guitar builder, he can rebuild and fortify anything , makes anything sound robust
@@marknorris3769 right. He has one of the best techs out there. Along with John mayer
Who has SRVs old tech.
They can take the shittiest guitar and make it a custom shop killer. And dans tech has a lutheir do lots of work on them. Each one is basically a work of art
what a lovely couple....
Dan’s 59 Burst is a Refin👍Bet he got a great deal on it... Purchased at Cartersvintage in Topeka Kanas✊
a refin , hmm , how do you know that
mark norris saw it on the Carters Web site. I think it’s still up... they also bought some amps at Carters for this tour.
I have been in Carters vintage guitars it’s in Nashville unless there’s another one in Topeka but I’m not aware of it.
Has anyone gathered stats on the rig rundowns, what are the most common amps, guitars and effects?
Oh Sees next
He put shannon and the clams on the map. Can you do a vibe run down on #shannonandtheclams
What!!??? There's a professional rock guitarist who doesn't know who Joe Bonamassa is? I'm just speechless 🤐
miles better than the 1st and 2nd rig rundown of black keys cos at least we have dan auerbach show up for this video and the other band members too
Brings that 59 on tour???? Damn that is surprising
Translation, "don't show them my damn pedals!!" Lol
They already did in previous years though
I remember my first rail
wow so most of these National/Supros, Kays and all that are gone now? that's kinda sad, I liked those guitars
They probably are stored at Easy Eye in Nashville.
@@FireFox9702 yeah I know Dan has a recording studio so im sure some of them, if not the most or all of them, are stored there
Those guitars are cool because they look funky and have a ton of Mojo. The problem with them in my opinion is that they are virtually unplayable toy guitars (though he obviously does not have any issues with them). He seems to really be into 70s lawsuit guitars now which I think have as much Mojo but are actual working instruments.
Probably for recording only now. I imagine they’d have a tough time keeping up with the rigors of touring after all these years
@@cjlv What do you mean by unplayable? I'm genuinely curious.
I’ve always wondered how is the super fuzzy, laggy rhythm tone on Run Right Back achieved?
That Epiphone Sheraton II the show starts off with would have been cool. I'd have added DGBE pairs for 10 strings
wonder how bo diddley felt about cigar box guitars?
Thought you'd be interested/ inspired, the ten strings are thought as the ten commandments, these are only heard or resonate on high, the Lord or above as you said, but beyond the earshot of mankind which is really interesting; keeping the ten commandments doesn't (appear to) have an affect to us, breaking them them doesn't weigh nearly as much as lesser sins mentioned and they're thought to be the main tennets, it's a lovely way to express the phenomenon with ten strings that can't be heard on earth but are resonating above when maintained below. Rock n Roll
Shame they stuck the mic at the back of the hall !,
Love PG videos but they always have audio issues.
Does anyone know where you get rivets like the one used on the les paul with the bigsby on it?
Hardware store or fabric? They look like upholstery rivets.
That dude with the amps did they just pull his wings off or did he have to piss bad
HI BROTHER, CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW THESE GUITARS GET TRANSPORTED, FROM SHOW TO SHOW? WE ONLY SEE THESE THINGS IN THE BOAT, BUT HOW TO THEY TRAVEL. THANKS
Dan plays the coolest guitars.
