www.premierguitar.com/ PG's Jordan Wagner is On Location in Des Moines, IA, at the Val Air Ballroom where he visits backstage with Mastodon's Brent Hinds and Bill Kelliher about their current live rigs.

In this Rig Rundown, Brent talks about his vintage Fender silverface combo and Marshall JMP heads. Also, he talks about his love for Gibson Les Pauls and his newly acquired Electrical Guitar Company's lucite V.

Bill Kelliher talks to us about his vintage vintage Explorers and Silverbursts and trying to incorporate his First Act 9-string into the live set a little more. In addition, he talks about his two Marshall heads (JMC 800 reissue and Kerry King Signature), Marshall and Mills Acoustic Cabs and his love for the new Morpheus Droptune Polyphonic Pitch Drop and Octave pedal.

I think Brent tried to solve the nation's drug problem by ingesting all the drugs.

Bill's mullet is epic!

What I love about these guys is that they're old school and new school, depending on the situation. Use what's proven and what works, yet not afraid to stick a new pedal in the board or play a First Act guitar on stage. badass.

Why do I watch these...
@DoomedBeThyHeart 10 years ago

Guys, you know that they play First Act Customshop guitars and not that cheap rubbish? These custom guitars are not even close to the normal First Act guitars and sound pretty decent
