On April 29th, 2015, Ben Gibbard and Nick Harmer of Death Cab for Cutie met with PG in Nashville’s historic Ryman to talk short-scale Fenders and Acme Silvertones.

Ben Gibbard tours with four 1970s Fender Mustangs with solid maple necks (He likes their comfy 24" scale.) The Mustangs have had their pickup switches and tone controls removed, and a single volume knob controls both pickups. Tech Jesse Quitslund also replaced the tremolo springs with bolts, locking down the floating tailpiece.

When Gibbard wants a softer, gentler tone, he goes with one of two 2008 Gibson J-45s with B-Band pickup systems.
