Rig Rundown – Justin Johnson
Smooth blues slide? Check. Mellow, soulful tones with an edge? Check. Epic gear? Check and double-check.
It’s hard to stand out as a blues guitarist, but @justinjohnsonlive has built an enormous following of loyal fans because he is too good to ignore. You’ve all probably seen the wild, long-haired dude tearing it up on a 3-string shovel. The novelty might have earned him over 1-million followers, but what makes people come back for more is his undeniably cool music. Johnson invited John Bohlinger and the PG team to his Nashville home to take us through his rig.

The piece at 21:00, is that a part of Justin’s song? Or just him freestyling for a moment?
The Mystery Resonator is probably a Chicago Regal from mid to late '30s .
In those years , Regal was the prime contractor for building low to mid range Dobro Brand Dobros , using the hardware shipped from California.
They also had rights to build certain numbers of instruments under the Regal brand , and private labels .
The Dobro branded ones were made to exact spec for the Dobro line , but under the Regal brand they mixed and matched elements in non standard combinations. Sometimes.
The tailpiece is the big tipoff . Dobro Branded alwas used a fan tailpiece , Regal Branded usually used a Trapeze. Also subtlies in the peghead slots .
Premiere guitar really does try to stay on top of these up comers . Well Justin is no new guy but just the same, this is cool….good work john
Delivering puns in spades.
With Bollinger interviewing Johnson how can you go wrong. Justin talking about different voices for different strings doesn't surprise me – I kinda figured he hears the world different than most of us.
That 'mystery resonator' is outta this world nice!
This interview was sooo good. Justin is one in a million. He can play anything and make it sound good. Proof of tone being in the soul and hands!
Man dei had Fun ????????????????????????
Love rig rundown
That shovel guitar, oh my….
So Great with all the tips and tricks too.
The best Rig Rundown ever!!!!
He is so authentic sounding. I never hear him trying to hard either. It’s the perfect balance of playing what needs to be played to tell a story. Music has gotten away from that story telling melodic soul.
For some, it's "two turntables and a mic" but for Justin, it's "three strings and a shovel"
That cigarbox his friend made–that's his Red Special. Fabulous.
Didn't realize he was so witty "If you ever need any guitar work done, just lemme know, you can have the same quality." ????
I think this is my favorite rundown ever. Justin has such a unique style and his gear is so much fun and out of the box. Really fun to watch! If I had a fraction of that gear I would never leave the house.
great job John ! this is one of the most interesting rundowns from a guy I've seen all over the internet for years ! Justin, keep rocking man your one of the most original artists I've seen in a while marching to the beat of your own drum ! best wishes to you guys !
What a great rundown. Justin is just a normal dude with insane talent and full of passion. Such a gifted player. One of my favorite rundowns to date.
That Gyrock guitar is sweet!!????
I can watch these Rig Rundowns all day long, lol! ????????
That resonator has someone's soul trapped in it
What an insight to your musical knowledge!! Thank you all involved in this video ✌????❤️????
Hey John, when you gonna get yourself a shovel guitar?? I'd like to hear what you can do.
This is the best rig I've seen. Nice looking too
he's my current favorite guitar player, despite the fact i quit playing forever everytime i see him play.
The length of this rundown would have been a real drag with anyone else. But with Justin, it could have been 3 hours, and I'd have watched the whole thing.
⭐I FOUND JUSTIN N THE PLSMA PEDAL HAD TO SHOVEL HIM OUT .. I LOVE HIS PLAYING IS SUPREME.. AN GRACIOUS…????????????
For those who say "Man, I'd love to sit down with Justin for an hour or so and talk guitars…", here you go.
If I'm ever kidnapped and die while in custody, I hope that Justin is the 'perp'. Listening to him play on the way out …what a way to go!
Yeah Justin Johnson is a freakin badass. Sweetest tone, swamp blues, down n dirty. Damn it's good. I'm pulling up stuff on his channel all the time. He's also a guitar tech wizard. Just FYI. ????
This guys got it. not only on guitar, but in life!
Great show! Thx John and Justin!????
Excellent rundown, even got an elementary school ROYGBIV mention, lol. Hilarious
