Touring lead guitarist Dave Catching, guitarist/frontman Jesse Hughes, and bassist Matt McJunkins were gracious enough to chat about their setups before the band's sold-out show at the High Noon Saloon in Madison, WI, on 9/10/15.
Catching quickly became friends with luthier Gabriel Currie who opened is Echopark Guitars shop across from the band’s rehearsal studio. Currie, a big fan of the guitarist and his many bands, built a replica of a 1958 Gibson Flying V that Catching uses throughout most EODM sets because “it plays perfect and never goes out of tune.” He strings up all his guitars with Ernie Ball Slinkys .010-0.48. Also, he and Hughes play the same open-G tuning all night-G-G-D-G-B-D.
Loyal to one brand, boogiemaster frontman/guitarist Jesse Hughes plays nothing but Maton 6-strings live. The one on the left is a custom-made MS500 that features lightning bolts instead of f-holes and hotter-wound humbuckers that allow Hughes to not use any pedals because they get him right to the edge where clean and distorted meet. The silverbust axe on the right is another custom-made creation-this is a baritone version of Maton’s MS T-Byrd that the Austrailian company gifted Hughes when they heard he recorded some baritone tracks on the just-released album Zipper Down. (The MS T-Byrd also features a single lightning bolt and hotter pickups.)

If the guys at PG get Josh Homme or anybody from QOTSA to show their rig, the Internet will be an even better place.

There is one already, but they don't show Josh Homme's rig, apparently he likes to keep it a secret.

I remember meeting these guys when they performed in London this year. Getting to meet Josh, Jesse and Dave was simply incredible, Josh is the most humble, softly spoken man I've ever met, Jesse was a delight to hang around with, literally hugging me at least once a minute while we were chatting, and Dave, well, Dave's just the most chill dude, gave us all free "Dave Catching Loves You" badges, and let us touch his beard. His beard is a beautiful thing. So sweet to see their rigs!

Wood as a material isn't important, and in itself not part of the discussion. Different density materials resonate differrntly, which is (said to) carry into the tone. The debate is about the different kinds of woods because usually guitars are made of wood.
