      I worked in a vintage guitar shop here in Buffalo, and he would call about old bowl back mandolins we had. He’s a very nice guy who was real patient when young me didn’t always have the answers to his really insightful questions. He never got pissed at me when I had to ask the owner or get him on the phone. And when he called back, he never asked to just skip through to the boss. GE is a classy guy, and really knowledgeable as you can see in the interview. He knows his gear.

      100% good Guy and great player. G.E did an incredible job on this gig and tour. That B.C bass(Bowery/Chelsea) has a telecaster guitar mate as well. The dry aged wood from those very old NYC buildings gives those instruments lots resonance and exceptional tonal quality. I personally love that 54’/55’ JR!!!!!!!! Single P-90 w/ simple volume and tone controls, In G.E’s hands……. Such beautiful noise!!!

    G. E. is great about telling you the history of the guitars and basses he plays, and always crediting the luthiers who have worked on his instruments.

    Really appreciate the interviewer’s super-low key style: Always manages to get the guests talking and giving great info without her talking much. First few times I saw her I just figured the guests were good, but I’ve see a bunch of her interviews now, over the last few years and every one is like this. If a guest does miss something, like the pickup on the bass with GE, she gives a gentle nudge to find it out.
    I’ve done a few interviews and it’s really hard for me to get info out of a guest without talking too much myself.

    GE is one of the best workman guitarists. I watched the whole SNL era when he was the band leader just to see what guitar he was playing. Not to mention for that 10 to 15 second spot he had the riffs he played were mind blowing. Not to mention I think he is a fellow Pennsylvania boy. Rock on GE.

    Back in the 80's, I had a girlfriend who wanted to see Hall & Oates in concert. Seriously that LAST group I wanted to see. But when we got to Oakland Arena, there they were, with G.E.Smith on guitar. I thought, man, what a nice treat that is. THEN - they turned around and rock the arena with all of there "pop" hits. What a surprise! Enjoyed the show. Thanks when I found out G.E.Smith was more than a face on Saturday Night Live...

    GE tends to be a great interview. Interesting stories about himself and other guitarists, and then of course that he is a killer guitarist adds to the discussion. Kudos to the interviewer ... really presses on crucial sound/tone details with deep knowledge based questions and elevates the entire interview.

    I love the Rig Rundowns that Rebecca Dirks did; she's by far their best interviewer that Premier Guitar has had. And then there's the uber modest G.E. Smith. That guy has done so much in his career and has never been one to showboat or steal anyone's thunder; he just goes about the business with a genuine smile on his face. He has some great gear and is not overly absorbed with the geeky side of the process. He just likes stuff that works and gives him the sounds that he hears in his head that fit the song and the band he's supporting.

    I had the pleasure of working on the momentary lapse of reason tour on a few shows. Way before GE Smith played. It was the tour when Carmine Appice played drums. he was the second drummer. He actually recorded on the album with them. Momentary Lapse Of reason tour. I miked his drum kit up in Columbus Ohio. I was checking out Gilmours pedal board. It was custom made and each button simply had the name of the song under it. His guitar tech did what ever switching and his guitar techs area had what looked like a train table. It was as big a a full size parlor pool table just laid out with all sort of different vintage pedals with a lot of the same ones hooked up in different series. Remember this was before we had modeling amps and all of these different multi program affects units. Everything was huge. Of course at that time it was still Pink Floyd with Roger and David both way before the split. Incredible stuff . I think i have seen it all in my life. I'm not complaining. so much has changed in the industry now. It's good in ways and bad in ways. Not good for performers still doing it who want to stay old school. Most have adapted that are still doing it.

    wow... seeing a beer on the stage - totally old school, brought back some good memories....!!
    Seriously though, I love that he's using a lot of vintage gear here, as to me there is no substitute for real good old instruments.

    I was not aware that G.E. Smith shops at Guitar Emporium so much. That's pretty good. I'm happy we have Guitar Emporium here in Louisville.

    Rebecca is the best interviewer for PG, which is saying a lot. I don’t know but hopefully she is teching something big.

    A 62 335 for 300.00 bucks. Oh my gosh. Yeah, back in the day we did not have "Vintage" high end guitars, we just had used guitars and you could ge them at pawn shops, or in the used room in the back of guitars stores and they were all affordable. Amazing to think of the guitars that I owned that are worth huge bucks right now, IMHO, the whole over priced vintage thing is one of the worst things that ever happened to guitar.

      things are worth what people are willing to pay for them. fortunately there are plenty of reissues of the classics.

      You can still get that sound, you just need to swap out the magnets with some that have half the charge drained from them. Try using alnico 5 UO's. Or otherwise 2's.

      A friend was telling me in the 80s you'd see 2 59s next to a 60 and a 58. for a few thousand each.. Nobody wanted them for a while, then I guess you could blame that slash guy for bringing them back.

      I agree about the over priced vintage thing. they've created the market based on bullshit and now nobody but rich collectors can get there hands on them.

      ​@@shoominati23 - in 1985 Norlin era LP guitars went for about 350 all day long in Toronto pawn shops. Stupidly I went and got a really terrible Matsumoku Kramer HSS superstrat for about $450 just because it had an OFR on it. For another $150 could have had an immaculate Starcaster that played really well, those coveted pickups in clean shape alone are worth over a grand.

    I always associate G.E. with when SNL was good!!! I'd love to watch the breaks in the show and see him just wailing on a guitar... I'd always wish they would show more of the house band in those days.
