Rig Rundown – Johnny Hiland
Article and photos: http://bit.ly/JohnnyHilandRR
High above the Nashville skyline, guitar slinger Johnny Hiland met with PG’s John Bohlinger for a pre-show Rig Rundown. Hiland showed off a diverse cache of 6-strings, two cool amps and a larger—yet practical—board that makes for a killer setup for both the studio and live gigs.
Hiland’s current No. 1 is his 1998 Music Man Axis Sport loaded with his signature Six Shooter pickups from Electric City Pickups and custom wiring harness from Martin Six String Customs.
This is Hiland’s 2010 Music Man Silhouette that also features the Six Shooter pickups and custom wiring harness. Between the middle and neck pickups sits a RunBarr by Easy Roll Guitar Methods. It acts as a pickguard in order to help your picking technique on speed picking and sweep arpeggios. Each of Hiland’s guitars are strung with Elixir Nanoweb (.009–.042) strings.

Hasn’t played a gig since. Nice
This is like an infomercial for every ounce of gear Johnny uses. Kinda in poor taste if you ask me. This ain't Nascar, or is it?
Damn. The tone of that Music Man through the Space Cowboy. Nice
Cracked me up when he commented on the train whistle ????. He is so humble, not to mention a guitar monster.
I luv you Johnny man. You are the biz o ???? ????

He’s very great!!!
Love Johnny but, are you ready, bless his heart, he’s a perpetual commercial
ONLY JOHNNY HILARD CAN BEND THE 3RD STRING A FULL TONE LEVEL AT THE 2ND FRET.
I JUST STARTED TAKING LESSONS FROM JOHNNY $100 AND HOUR. AND I WILL NEVER BE CLOSE TO AS GOOD AS HE IS NEVER.
this nice man has a heavenly way of tapping his fingers. regardless of his skill, speed and knowledge… oh my god when he does a bending
I’ve never heard a good strat tone described as “bubbly” before, but that’s EXACTLY what it is! ???? I love this guy.
SO Very Cool, Thankyou. OMG, What a Champion. Such an awesome Guitar 'collection' and amazing amps and Pedals and Amazing Player. Such a salesman too. lol. I am SOLD. Maybe my favorite Rig Rundown Ever. You Rock Johnny, Thankyou. Cheers from Australia.
A message from France to Johnny: "On t'aime! Chapeau! ❤
I've always adored the humble guitars players – all my inspirations: Petrucci, Steve Morse, Tommy Emmanuel and I think I found my new hero/inspiration – He is so adorable.
I just love the enthusiasm, one of the ingredients of his superb technique now doubt why he just sounds better every year
You’re Absolutely Amazing !!! I used to see you downtown over 20 years ago, and marvel at your natural ability !!! You’re a great player and a great humanitarian. You thanked everybody for every little thing they’ve done for you !
I’m in love with your music man guitar with the raised pick guard for sweep and fast picking. I would love to copy your whole rig, as I love to play everything too.
Love Ya Man !!!

Johnny plays whoever is sponsoring him at the time so it always changes.
This guy is such a badass, yet so humble. Much love my friend.
One of the best premier guitar videos to watch, Johnny drops so many names in every part of the music industry. Not to mention a hell of a nice guy and a phenomenal guitar player.
Been watching Rig Rundown for many years and they just keep getting better and better. John Bohlinger has the perfect personality for these. Keep 'em long! Thank you!
This is the first time I've seen so me one turn An Axis into a Strat ???? I love it
What a talent. Wow
"here's my clean tone": (((30 second non-stop lick of chicken pickin goodness))) Bollinger: "awesome"
This guy reminds me of Shawn Lane. A gentle, kind genius.
What Leslie pedal was he using? Sounds great!
