Between being one of the most prolific YouTubers in the guitar sphere, working as a trusted hired gun, and creating his own original music, including last year’s EP The Early Days, he’s an avid cyclist. Just a week before we met up with Rhett at Eastside Bowl in Madison, Tennessee, for this Rig Rundown, he was slated to ride a 100-mile race in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Those plans were dashed when 70-mile-an-hour winds stoked a wildfire near town and burned just over 26,000 acres. But the show must go on: The next night, Shull played a gig in town, a special release for people reeling from a brutal natural disaster.Shull’s a certified gear aficionado and tone wizard, so PG’s Chris Kies headed to Eastside Bowl to have him walk us through his current live rig.

Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/vundabarVisit Grimey's: https://www.grimeys.com/A pair of Fender amps and a custom-built Baranik helped the Boston band’s guitarist come back from a broken arm.When Brandon Hagen broke his arm a few years ago, his life changed in an instant. He’d been fronting Boston indie rock outfit Vundabar since 2013, and suddenly, he was unable to do the things he’d built his life around. Recovery came, in part, in the form of a custom guitar prototype built by Mike Baranik of Baranik Guitars. Hagen deconstructed and rehabilitated his relationship to the 6-string on that instrument, an experience that led to Vundabar’s sixth LP, Surgery and Pleasure, released on March 7.On tour supporting the record, the band appeared at Grimey’s in Nashville for a performance on March 11, and PG’s Chris Kies caught up with Hagen to hear about his journey and learn what tools the guitarist has brought on the road. As Hagen tells it, his setup is less about expertise and received wisdom, and more about “intuitive baby mode”—going with what feels and sounds good in the moment.Shop Vundabar's Gear:Ernie Ball Slinky Strings - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/qzZAayFender Hot Rod Deville - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/DynQvnJHS Colour Box - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/MmeQkMKeeley Compressor - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/B0drY9Electro-Harmonix 2020 Tuner - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jeZz95Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/EKxEPQElectro-Harmonix Micro POG - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/LX5qZ0Boss Blues Driver - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/55YAvLWay Huge Swollen Pickle - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/e1gqLjMXR Carbon Copy - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Qyn3X9Boss DD-7 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/KjDAaxFull Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/vundabarSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPGDon't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar0:00 - D'Addario XPND Pedalboard0:15 - Vundabar "I Need You" Live at Grimey's1:06 - Chris Kies Intro1:39 - Brandon Hagen's Custom Baranik B44:56 - Fralin P-90s & Baranik Goldfoil Pickups7:51 - Baranik B4 Controls9:15 - Klon Clone in the Guitar?!13:02 - Brandon Hagen's 2009 Japanese Fender Jazzmaster ’62 Reissue15:54 - Recording "I Need You" & Surgery and Pleasure Album22:47 - Relearning Guitar After a Broken Arm24:25 - 2009 Japanese Fender Jazzmaster ’62 Reissue Sound Demo26:02 - D'Addario XPND Pedalboard & John Bohlinger26:51 - Brandon Hagen's Fender Fender Pro Junior & Blues Junior31:37 - Brandon Hagen's Pedalboard42:48 - Creating Tones for "Greenland"44:39 - Brandon Hagen's Strings & Tunings49:35 - Vundabar Live at Grimey's[Brought to you by D’Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr & D'Addario XPND: https://ddari.io/xpnd.rr]© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2025#guitar #rigrundown #guitarist #guitarplayer #guitargear

At the start of the 2010s, you’d be hard-pressed to find a college radio station or dorm-room playlist that didn’t include a Phantogram hit.Sixteen years after the release of their debut record, band leaders Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel, who started Phantogram in a town of just a few thousand people, are touring behind their latest full-length, 2024’s Memory of a Day. The tour included a sold-out stop at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium—a different sort of barn than the kind they used to perform in back in Greenwich—where PG’s John Bohlinger caught up with Carter and Barthel.
