Rig Rundown - Nada Surf

Premier Guitar’s Perry Bean yacks with Nada Surf founder Matthew Caws and Doug Gillard—also of Guided by Voices—before their Nashville show at the Mercy Lounge.

Caws’ main axe is this Edwards “lawsuit” Les Paul that was made in Japan. The word is that Edwards, a subsidiary of ESP, made this incredibly light guitar so close in construction and aesthetics to a Gibson Les Paul that it can’t legally be sold in the U.S. The Edwards features replicas of Gibson Burstbucker pickups and Caws keeps it strung with a set of beefy D'Addario .012 gauge strings.

Gillard lets the song dictate which of his classic Gibsons he plays. Currently, Gillard tours with three Kalamazoo-era guitars and one of his favorites is this 1973 Les Paul Standard with 490R/490T humbuckers that he’s owned since he was 18.
