Mike Dawes’ main guitar is this signature model built by Andreas Cuntz. It features an Indian rosewood back and sides, 38-year-old sitka spruce top, ebony fingerboard, Indian rosewood rosette, and quilted maple binding. There’s a 44 mm spacing at nut, 55 mm at bridge and Gotoh 510 tuners. Dawes strings up this guitar with a set of D’Addario Nickel Bronze strings (.013-.056). Throughout a show Dawes will tune on the fly to a variety of tunings.
Inside the guitar sits a DiMarzio Black Angel magnetic pickup, a Black Angel piezo, and a K&K Trinity mic and preamp, along with a Schatten Dualie soundboard transducer for his kick drum sound. All of the pickups are routed to a single 9V battery. The cabling is a bit complex. The guitar uses a custom DiMarzio-wired cable built by Eric Corpus. Inside the cable is a single mono line that carries the piezo and mic signals along with a stereo cable that mixes the kick drum and magnetic pickup. The magnetic pickup is wired to the tip of the output jack so Dawes can use the Tonewood amp when appropriate.

@grassngravel879 4 года назад

When I got to the 19:35 I literally got chills. I've been playing with and using the Boss OC-3 in this way for nearly 15 years. I was playing in London at the time and saw a guy playing at an open mic who was using one as well. Sweeping the signal down to only catch the low frequency was mind blowing to me. I play exclusively in DADGBD tuning, so this pedal is so key to my sound. I honestly had no idea @Mike Dawes uses this pedal until stumbling upon this video. I'm geeking out a lot right now. LOL

@GabrielVelasco 2 года назад

Amazing! One would naively think that the pedal board for an acoustic guitar would be MUCH simpler than for an electric, but his acoustic pedal setup ends up being one of the most complex I've ever seen in terms of signal paths because the multiple pickups, etc.

This might be my favorite rig rundown. John B delivers again!

@peterpedersen1641 3 года назад

Hey John!! I have had the pleasure of meeting Mike D a few times here in NYC and in Philly area, at the Tommy Emmanuel show a year or so ago, he was called in to front Tommy for a few shows. I know Tommy also. so when my wife and I were lounging around the theater, all of sudden, there is Mike Dawes hanging around the lobby. We both remembered meeting at The Iridium on his first US Tour years back. And that night, I brought a studio bass player friend to join me to see Mike. We were sitting with one of Mike's students at a front table. The one thing that blew me away, and made perfect sense, was how long MIKE"S FINGERS ARE!!! No wonder his walkovers and hammer-ons are so intense. I think he has an 11-inch reach!! LOL Most humans are 7-8 inch. Mike is amazing. A great guy. So knowledgeable of his instrument. Always keep a MD CD in the car ready to go when on those runs back and forth from Greenwich Village to the Poconos.... Thanks

@Sellarmusic 4 года назад

Awesome Rig Rundown. Mike is just an incredible player and it was so interesting to see how he puts it all together on stage. As usual, John always asks great questions from a guitar player's point of view and appreciates the artist as much as we do. You can learn a lot from a PG Rig Rundown.

@spmartin 4 года назад

Mike would be almost as entertaining even if he didn’t have a guitar! He needs his own show!

@dosty3 3 года назад

Mike is quite innovative. Ive got a lot of the same pedals on my rig but not worthy to touch his guitar. Thanks for doing this interview. Very informative and inspiring.

@martinalexander4777 2 года назад

I have a Joyo American. It is seriously brilliant and cost me £30 UK brand new! I use it on open mic nights to put electric through a PA, but now its going on my Acoustic board. Also he uses all the cool Digitech stuff which for no reason I can not fathom is discontinued. Big fan

@oicsaywhat 2 года назад

I saw Mike open for Tommy Emmanuel. At first I admit I was a bit suspicious of the whole tapping style but Mike's playing and incredible wit and warm personality won me over. He's a consummate player AND entertainer. Class act all the way.

Mike Dawes is an incredible inspiration and as a recent discovery, he may be the best acoustic fingerstyle guitarist I have ever heard! I have to admit something...while watching this video, I was having trouble keeping my eyes off John Bolger. He just may be the most beautiful man I have ever seen. Sorry to get off track.

@TheZacdes 3 года назад

44mm is not narrow!! Most guitars are 42, i searched a long time in my town to finally get a Tanglewood with a 43mm nut! Why i love Taylors, apart from the sound the action is soft and low and they have 44mm nuts! My fingers are not comfortable with a 42mm nut. To tight, not enough room. Being 61 ime starting to get a couple of problems that are not helping my playing:( My left hand little finger is ahhmm..Fucked up,lol. Love your sound Mike even though ime usually not really into tapping like so many younger players are into!

@83roadstar 4 года назад

I used the metric system cutting exhaust pipe,our prints were metric,but for the longest time the company converted metric to S.A.E. not to confuse the employees.

@sgtyut6305 4 года назад

We like to hate on the metric system as a point of pride, but it is totally superior. 10 mm in a cm, 100 cm in meter, 1000 meters in a km. On the other hand, we have to remember random numbers, 3 feet in a yard, 5280 feet in a mile, 16 oz in a lb. And those are the easy ones.

Does the blank jack need to be grounded to itself? I tried plugging in a small jack cable and all sound is disconnected when set as you have yours set. Thank you for the help.

@empathysgone96 4 года назад

Very interesting. So does his boss split the signals then he goes out to the pedals with each individual pick up? Or does he go from pickups to designated pedals then to the bose blending unit? Help!!!
