Rig Rundowns

The Nashville-based power player uses classic-style guitars and amps to create big tones that echo from the past to the future. Our last Rundown with https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/rig-rundown-j-d-simo (J.D. Simo was eight years ago). Since then, the songwriter, guitarist, and producer has worked with Jack White, Tommy Emmanuel, Luther Dickinson, Dave Cobb, Blackberry Smoke, and even been a friend in Grateful Dead founder Phil Lesh’s band Phil and Friends. Currently, Simo is promoting his most unique, original, and raw album yet, called Mind Control, where he explores Afrobeat grooves and Mississippi trance blues. Simo invited John Bohlinger and the PG team to his studio to look at some new and old friends with strings, cones, and attitude.
