Podcast 222: Singer-Songwriter David Wilcox

A lot of acoustic guitarists have a favorite pickup that they
install on their instruments. Singer-songwriter/guitarist David
Wilcox has more like ten…and he uses them all at the same time.


On this week’s podcast, we talk to David about his very unique
method for amplifying and recording his guitars, including the
numerous pickups and mics he installs (Joe Mills, Sunrise,
McIntyre Acoustic Featherand others!). We also talk about
his signature model RainSong guitar and his forthcoming order
with acclaimed luthier Jason Kostal.


Beyond all the gear talk, David walks us through his Custom Songs
program (where he takes commissions from fans to write songs
specifically about their lives), the fateful moment that inspired
him to take up the guitar and a lot more.
