Rig Rundown – The War On Drugs’ Adam Granduciel
Article and photos: http://bit.ly/TheWarOnDrugsRR
Premier Guitar met up with Adam Granduciel of The War on Drugs at Marathon Music Works in Nashville. Granduciel described how he builds moody, swirling walls of sounds through a Bradshaw pedalboard, two Hiwatt amps and a full-time spinning Leslie.
Through a serendipitous amp breakdown at a show in Phoenix, Granduciel began a relationship with Fender. It started with a new Japanese-made Gretsch White Falcon.
The Falcon was soon followed by this American Vintage ’56 Reissue Strat.
Although his array of Fender-related axes skews towards the modern side, Granduciel’s goes vintage for his collection of Gibsons. The oldest one is a totally stock ’64 Gibson SG Jr.
A previous owner loaded up his ’66 non-reverse Firebird with a pair of Lollar P-90s, but Granduciel added the Bigsby.
Finally, a stock ’72 Les Paul Deluxe rounds out the trio.

Absolutely stunning setup ????
That is NOT an early ‘70’s Hiwatt DR504- those were 4 inputs. My money is on this being an ‘80’s Biacrown. But the 100 watt DR103 looks legit
I keep hearing he uses a bun runner too so I came here.. but his theory on the electra pedal is making my nerves go crazy I just wanna go back in time and correct him so bad
Love this band. It's a real treat to see how it's put together like this.
Great rundown. Not into the band. Still enjoyed the video snd information!
If your not busing AMPTURCO GUITAR WERKS Cables you don't have good cables. His Harnesses are top notch too.
Check the year on the deluxe, I thought the pancake bodies ended in 78?
The whole enchilada
He needs to do another Rig Rundown ASAP, this video is so out of date to what he uses nowdays! Please get him back!
Man, that Firebird looks THIN!
I just recently got into this band . Adam is a pocket player who plays in a band context . There is something sonic with feel with a smooth assuring grip on the wheel. He understands equipment and it's tool usage!!!! Great rigrundown . Great Band. I am a FanBoy.
Earth amps! I remember them back in the day! We had a Earth PA in the band that was just awesome.
Please do a 2022 update!
my kinda of guy right here!
"Let's see how it sounds!"…nothing works.
Dude’s just a musician in every way possible
Wow, this dude is just a super normal guy.
Must be hard to keep the camera in focus…what is this,amateur hour ?
Impossible to see the guitars. He just presents them to himself
He never found the capo for the Les Paul that night haha
Such a genuine cool dude!
Classic… stage full of awesome gear cascading this into that. Wow wow
"Hey let's hear all this stuff"…
"Oh let me figure this out" proceeds to sound like a wash of unintelligible shit. Lol ????
Great rundown, but too bad this was from right before he adopted the Jazzmaster as his main guitar. That's been a huge part of his live sound since and I would love to have heard him expound on that in the way he does for some of the others here.
Guttted to be Mutron
By the way, Bolinger is the ultimate guitar chad every guitarist needs in his life.
What about the jazzmaster? Thought he was a huge fan
this is kinda funny because Krysten Ritter died of heroin in breaking bad LOL
Yeah Adam's seems like the coolest guy in rock, I wish him so much happiness. ps I had a fender endorsement, they're a good crew.
Looks like Jimmy Kimmel in an jean jacket.
This guy is really important to me right now!!!
Camera man needs lessons on how to keep focus…
Wow. Ya. Ya, wow, cool. Wow. Ya . Ya. Cool. Ya. Wow.
I hope some day they do snow patrol, Phoenix and Coldplay too
Genuinely, how can he wear that denim?? Wouldent the buttons scratch the guitar?!?
A non understanding …TOOL … That iIs All … carry on.
Old Town Music shoutout! (and Hank). Portland represent!
He brings A LOT of pedals, but he uses them all. Love him
Beautiful
