Warren Haynes' Rig

11/11/2010
. (Gibson) Warren Haynes' guitar tech Brian Farmer recently spent some time with Premier Guitar to film a video detailing the guitar master's live rig. The video, filmed before Gov't Mule performed a show in Iowa City, runs the gamut from strings to guitars to effects to amps. Farmer describes what effects and guitars Warren uses on different songs and how the setup is different from when he plays with the Allman Brothers Band.

Of special interest to guitar fans is a look at Haynes' guitarsenal � two vaults of Gibson guitars that include Les Pauls, ES-335s, reverse Firebirds, a regular Firebird and an SG. Farmer explains that many of Haynes' Les Pauls are the Warren Haynes models, including two named Chester and Lester. Farmer made the interesting choice of putting a Chet Atkins truss rod cover on a Les Paul to help distinguish the guitars.

Toward the end of the video, Farmer shows off a truly unique instrument � a 12-string Les Paul. According to the guitar tech, it's one of only two in the world. To watch the video, click here -
