VERHEYEN-GIBSON-08-09-10

Verheyen prefers this 1960 Telecaster Custom for “swampy” things, like claw-picking a la Jerry Reed. Verheyen says this 1970 Fender Telecaster Thinline makes a great jazz guitar when it has heavier strings. This ’67 Rickenbacker 360/12 is part of Verheyen’s collection due to the influence of The Byrds. “(Their) guitar sound still jumps out of the radio at me; they inspired me as a kid, so I had to have a Rick 12.”
