Rob McNelley spends a lot of time at Sound Stage Studios in Nashville. When he says, “I live here,” he’s only half kidding. McNelley has recorded with country superstars like Carrie Underwood, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Luke Combs, and more, and he’s performed with Wynonna Judd, Delbert McClinton, Bob Seger, and Lee Ann Womack—and that’s on top of his own solo releases. He’s probably listened to his rig with headphones more than without.
McNelley ditches the headphones when PG’s John Bohlinger pays him a visit at Sound Stage for this Rig Rundown. Check out McNelley’s choice gear below.

ROB! REALLY GREAT MAN.
Great interview/rundown.
Another winner YouTube, John (and Rob) – so many good sounds in there, good to hear and watch it.
What a great interview! Ty!
This was fun. He’s cool
i have a fake murphy lab versionf that guitar first thing i did was put the music city bridge on it—now it intonates as good as the PRS mccarty 594 i had. thats s killin gold top! also i want that matchless!!!
I agree about amp wattage. I think 50w and more are better suited for live situations. In a studio the sound is more important than being loud and being loud in terms of wattage really compromises tone.
What a cool guy! Rob is awesome. I live in Nashville and never see this guys. And everyone lives here.????
My favourite rig rundown ever. I'd never heard of Rob McNelley before, but I'm a fan now
Wow wow … best episode ever … Rob M is a treasure … and along with Joe B one of the nicest Nashville guitar gods … crazy! … and kudos to Bollinger who really enjoy interviewing the guitar geniuses in a fun and respectful manner
This guy plays so clean. Like he does this Everyday for years. So nice tones, ????????????
This might be one of my favs. Awesome work.
can't get enough of these Nashville Cats! so much knowledge and talent!
That Strat does do instant Petty, 'You're Gonna Get It', 'Torpedoes', 'Hard Promises'.
I swear I saw Rob at Robert’s western world with that white Tele. Anybody know if he does that kinda thing??? Thanks for sharing your gear with us Rob!!!
Inbiginate. To make everything more biggerer.
I remember seeing this guy play Cliffs of Dover in the early 90s at a club in Columbus. His band was cool. I wish I still had the CD. Found out much later he became a great session guy in Nashville. So awesome!!!
Guy talks too much. Let’s hear it man !
Get a mirage compressor and you'll lose the rc booster
Amazing good guitarist rocking a big ol jcm 2000 i like it!
Great dude
That opening lick he played was a version of
R.L. Burnside – See My Jumper Hangin On the Line (1978)
What a great episode. Thank you, Rob.Thank you, John. Greetings from Germany.
Robs the best. Amazing episode
