    Inspired to by play guitar by his 6-stringing father, ‪@ShawnTubbs‬ emerged from the Christian-music scene. By his late teens, he was doing club and session gigs, and became part of The Violet Burning. In 1992, he played with Stone Temple Pilots on an episode of MTV Unplugged, then got deeper in the high-profile Nashville session scene, and began touring with Carrie Underwood.
    He’s since stopped road-tripping in favor of the studio, where he’s a first-call player and his credits include recent work with David Crosby. The 30-year-veteran guitarist’s current album, Demolition, A Collection of Short Jams, can be heard on SoundCloud, and he’s got a popular CZcams channel, but you can hear him demo is own gear in this Rig Rundown, filmed at his home studio.

    So just this morning I was doing the dishes...ha! but it is true. How the West was won came on via shuffle. I started thinking why is it the best tones ever came from the 60's, 70's and 80's? Back then they had no options, they just played through what they could get...at least in the 60's-70's. It seems like once gear became more nuanced and widely available in terms of options tones have never been as good to me. When you started talking about the 10 year cycle it reminded me of how I have come full circle from just amps to amps with pedals to rack gear to digital etc. I have now come full circle and prefer a Les Paul into a 100 watt Marshall. Practical indeed not but man, you can't replace that sound and feel. Not to plug a Rockett video but to my defense this particular product is no longer made, however, Shawn the vid you did for us for the Flex Drive using my Les Paul is still my favorite tone you have had on the demo vids you have done. Also your playing on that vid (opening song) was ridiculous. Glad you are getting the attention you deserve my friend!

    About modding guitars and then getting rid of them: George Harrison's red Les Paul named 'Lucy' started as a sunburst w/Bigsby owned by the Lovin' Spoonful's John Sebastian (who also had a Goldtop). He sold it via a shop in NYC to Rick Derringer, who was with the McCoys at the time. Derringer had the Bigsby removed, the neck shaved and the sunburst stripped and replaced with red. But he didn't like the results so the shop put it up for sale...and Eric Clapton purchased it, then gave it to Harrison. I don't think we ever saw him using it with Cream, so possibly he purchased it with the intent to give it to George.
    A while later, Clapton was in a car with Harrison on the way to the studio when the Beatle suggested he be a guest player on 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'. Clapton had no guitar with him, so he played 'Lucy'. That guitar remains in the Harrison family's collection.
