Rig Rundown – Alice Cooper
Article and photos: http://bit.ly/AliceCooperRR
Premier Guitar hung with Tommy Henriksen, Ryan Roxie and Nita Strauss of the Alice Cooper band during the Nashville stop on their 2014 tour with Mötley Crüe. This team of elite ax wielders stay true to the classic rock tone that Cooper’s band helped establish in the late ’60s while incorporating modern shred.
Ryan Roxie’s recipe for tone has always included a Les Paul & Marshall. His current #1 guitar is his completely stock 2014 Gibson Les Paul, nicknamed “Peace”, with Gibson’s proprietary self-tuning system.
When a cleaner tone is needed, Roxie reaches for a 2012 Gibson ES-335. Since Roxie doesn’t use channel switching or drive pedals, he moves to the neck pickup—which is roughly half the volume than his bridge pickup.
The trio of Gibsons is rounded out with a 2007 Flying V—relic’d by Rock N’ Roll Relics—loaded with three Gibson humbuckers. All of Roxie’s guitars are strung with Gibson Brite Wires .010-.046.

Robot tuners lol
Exactly that's why I like Ibanez RG Guitars the thin flat neck hardly any radius ???????????????????? awesome nita
So, he’s a PEDAL guy. Through and through.
Tommy should write "AND UH !" in gaffing tape on the back of his SG …uh…
The Fender 59' Bassman is the Rock'n'Roll amp , which the Marshall is a clone of…badda-bing-badda-boom !
I know some younger guitar players who refuse to ' believe ' that the Explorer & Flying-V came out in the 1950's !…funny ! fun-fun !
Alice Cooper has hands down the Absolute Best Band in Rock n Roll!
Why paint the nails black? What is the purpose?
Glad Nita is gone. Alice is too classy for pointy guitars and crap.
19:23 is that a Peter Gabriel Sticker on his yellow SG?
That's great some rich p** bought it and have no idea the potential of it will not use the space for what is good for and just a waste of money that he'll solid move out f**** piece of s***
Wow there's a lot of amps that are way better F*** Gibson f*** Marshall get a g**** PV Or a Tesla Or a Rev Or a Randall shall I go on f*** s*** a** Marshall and Gibson overrated out of date c***
That's funny cause we all know Gibbs and plays like s*** as cheap a** s*** it's over priced lots of fret buzz s*** faint jobs f*** u* next but whatever yours are made by custom shop USA so you know you don't know the difference
Nita's guitar skills have come such along way in 8 years!! Incredible player!
Sorry Nita but Floyd Rose is the King of Vibrato systems.
26:54 lol. She's awesome, but, no I have never seen a Floyd Rose Original release it's wah bar like that. But I have seen them dive bomb and come back to tune very well. I saw a YT video where she played with Angel Vivaldi in Florida. That's was very cool!
She uses all Steve Vai pickups
I have an SG and a 335 I’m not a les Paul or strat guy
Love me a flat neck
Gary Holt has always held his guitar up by it's Floyd Rose no matter what make or model :/
Tommy is so New York I just love this Guy. And Nita!! What more can you say.
does anybody know the style or the typ of the hat of ryan roxie ? 😀
Spinal Tap material
GIBSON's suck, chunks of wood with strings on them………… it is 2022 not 1902 ,Nita has a proper guitar
Chiropractor's love guitarist who play Gibson, the heaviest most uncomfortable guitar ever designed
Love the Italian accent on the SG guy, Its like Rocky Balboa playing guitar
what about the bass player?
Great interviews excellent musicians in Alice Copper Band!! ????????????????????????????
great people and great musicians
This is what you get when your band leader (Alice Cooper) is stone sober, grounded and a complete professional. Alice wants no druggie ego bullshit around him just pros. You get good highly talented people surrounding the troop leader. Great people and leaders attract great troops.
This second dude has to be from Brooklyn lol
Damn! John's 6 pack is begging to be set free.
I want to hear Tommy do a Christopher Walken impression
I'm trying really hard to listen to the legends talking… But dude John is ripped as hell!!!!
I respect how professional Nita is, in all the rig rundowns I have seen and that's lots She speaks to camera and involves the viewer unlike so many that just look at the interviewer. she is a branding dream. nice work as always John.
Nita looks younger today than she did when this interview was recorded. That’s what happens when you quit drinking.
This is called a es335….lol.
24:31 that's what she said
always a great band with alice
