Rig Rundown – Marcus King
Article & photos: http://bit.ly/MarcusKingRR
PG’S John Bohlinger hung with Marcus King before his gig at Nashville’s 3rd and Lindsley. King goes with the tried-and-true combination of Gibsons and Supers to blend with his rocking band of soulful horns and funky keyboards.
King’s No. 1 is this 2016 Gibson Memphis 1964 ES-345TD reissue. It replaced his grandfather’s vintage 345 which is too valuable to beat up on tour.
The backup is his 2016 Gibson Les Paul goldtop ’57 reissue loaded up with Seymour Duncan Antiquities. It has a total Duane Allman “Layla” vibe. Both Gibsons are strung with Elixr .011–.049 strings and King uses Dunlop Jazz 3 picks.

60 cycle hum coming from something and they talk over it for 10 minutes on film
Like there’s no electric noise in the background. ????
Ladies and gentlemen this is who we are we’re guitar players
Are the pick ups gold plates? I can’t really tell with the lighting
Jeeez stop the hummmm.
Seeing this and some recent videos after this was published he is the next best artist to big old C.D. Charlie Daniels.????God rest his soul. Put a fiddle in that good ol boys hand. Can't wait to see him in person
Just watched his 2022 RR. Now that I rewatched this one, I think this was where I first heard of Marcus. Thanks again PG!
great video, needs a gate 🙂
Geek alert here, but they described the signal chain wrong. It didn't make sense to me, so I backed it up a couple times to look where the cables were actually running. Guitar — tuner — wah — junction — one half to TS, then vibrato 1 input on FR — second half direct in to the Homestead (with "built in" TS circuit). Probably obvious to most who care about this video, but I thought I would correct the oversight. Moving on…..
I don't have many pedals, but I swear I think I have 1 more than him lol…..I love it. His old man's amp, a tube screamer, wah, and a tuner. 3 nce guitars and tons of God given talent. Compared to some of these episodes showing an artist guitar tech going thru the giant racks, 4 foot wide pedal boards, etc….Marcus has much closer to what us couch players keep at the house. So young, but so talented. Much admiration…..
Best sounding les paul I have ever heard
Super Reverb on 10 OMFG YES
Marcus I’ll give you one of my Handwired Tweed 5F11 clones that I build.
MK IS THE REAL DEAL, WITH A VERY UNIQUE STYLE AND SOUND. BLESS THIS DUDE MAN.
Dude! Get Yourself a proper A/B/Y-Box that eliminates the hum ????
Man what a joy it is to watch Marcus King continue to grow and "Take the World by Storm". I've been fortunate enough to see him play live and the young man just stomps. He plays blues, soul, funk, rock, delta blues, country, psychedelic rock, jazz, jam band acid rock etc. He'll fuse in and out of all those styles then he'll throw in a little Eddie Van Halen topped off with a BB King punctuation. The kid is HOT!!!
0:24 yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh ????????????
Just came home from a show. He wasn't using either guitar and amp. Time for an update.
I went to see Marcus king on Thursday, and he most certainly didn't stick to one guitar all night, started with a firebird then a les Paul then a 345 then a 345 sideways trem, then a tele….. in the first six songs ????
This kid rips….. I'm old enough to have seen Duane play three times before he passed…..he was my inspiration to learn how to play guitar….. Dickie too
I was prepared to make a snarky comment when I saw this on YouTube. Then I watched and listened. This young man is talented with a uniquely original sound. Best of all. he's an extremely humble guy about it. Oh btw, I happen to like Orange amps too!
Just gonna ignore that Leslie speaker sitting in the back?
I've got that TS9 tube screamer.
MK is my new guitar hero!
He's gonna take me the promise land.
Cool, Very Cool, Cool… Very Cool Man…
Anyone else losing it over no straplocks? That Les Paul was about to drop!
No matter what I’m going through, Bohlinger’s mood and vibe just makes me feel better. Love this rundown too
03:34 – 03:41 good Lord!
great video guys please update asap!
B.B kings descendants dipped into some milk ????.
Paints quite a picture. Grandpa’s 345 and Super when he was ten years old. On ten no doubt. And lived to tell about it.
I'm lovin' the minimal setup, but can somebody tell me what's the constant buzzsaw noise I'm hearing in the background? Is it the super-reverb ground noise? Are the lights?
Heeeeyyyy maaann
Is that 60 cycle hum or did the cicadas show up 4 years early
Very humble young man ! Plays from his soul !
I like Marcus! That's good people
Marcus King deserves more that 10 mins.!
Take A Shot For Every Cool
He's such a humble kid, and a ferocious talent I really like him.
Boy, this 345 went down the drain … can't find this model anywhere.
I hate this interviewer lol
This kid can play it all!! He plays blues as well or better than all the blues legends!! Muddy Waters is smiling from above every time this kid plays!!!
It was said when Marcus was younger he wanted his band to be a "soul-influenced psychedelic Southern rock" band and let me tell yall: the MKB achieved that

Koop ,man yeah ,right yeah kook man yeah
Cool guy. And a sweet sound. Dwayne Allman left quite a legacy
what happened to his eyebrows?
I highly highly highly recommend seeing the Marcus King Band live. They are a band that will blow you away. From the killer horn section, to the groovy keyboard playing, to the in-the-pocket drumming, to the tasty bass playing, to Marcus's killer godly guitar playing in vocals, they will rock your frickin socks off. Every????single????time????
Rebecca where are you when we need ya?
Yeah cool right yeah cool man cool yeah cool right ,oh cool
I love this guy, such humility, you can tell his Momma raised him right. Don't change Marcus.
