John Bohlinger hung with John Oates and Shane Theriot before soundcheck at a recent sold-out show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Each night, the guitar duo splits duties on the vast catalog of platinum-selling hits that have propelled the group for nearly 40 years.
This 1958 Fender Stratocaster has been featured on some of Hall and Oates’ biggest hits. Oates purchased it in 1973 and since then the original finish has been removed and the body was routed to fit humbuckers. The bridge pickup is a Gibson PAF and the neck pickup is a very early PAF-style ’bucker from Seymour Duncan. He keeps the Strat strung up with D’Addario XL116 (.011-.052) strings.
Oates also brings this TV Jones Model 10 in Lake Placid Blue on the road. It features TV Jones pickups, Sperzel tuners, and a Bigsby B5 with Vibramate Spoiler.
Shane Theriot’s No. 1 is a 2014 Gerard Melancon Aged Artist with a roasted maple neck, rosewood fretboard, Gotoh bridge, and vintage Kluson tuners. The guitar is strung D’Addario NYXL (.011-.049) strings and tuned down a half step.
