Today (17th), Mastodon guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds has announced that he’s teamed up with Reverb.com to open up a shop to sell his personal guitars, amps, and more. The official launch date is set for next Thursday (23rd) and will include his used gear from the studio and on tour.
Hinds commented:
“There comes a time in your life when you have to get rid of everything and for me, that time is now. The music gear I’m selling in my Reverb shop is legitimate sh*t. All of it was heavily used—all over the world on tour, in the studio, and beyond. A lot of early Mastodon work was created on this gear.”
All items will be shipped with a signed and embossed Certificate of Authenticity.
Items include:
- Robert Randolph Custom Sierra 13-string pedal steel guitar, which Hinds played on Once More Round The Sun and Cold Dark Place.
- A cream 1981 Gibson Flying V electric guitar that has traveled all over the world with Hinds and Mastodon.
- A First Act Custom Shop Lola Double Neck electric guitar played on Crack the Skye and used live during the tour that supported the same album. Hinds helped design the guitar, which is the only one in existence.
- A Hammond Colonnade full-sized church organ used on every Mastodon record made up until Crack the Skye was released. “God that thing is so cool,” Hinds said while talking about the organ. “Now I don’t want to sell it!”
- A black 2008 Gibson Flying V ‘67 Reissue electric guitar used on tour and to record several of Mastodon’s earlier records, including “Oblivion” and “Crack The Skye.”
- A black Dean V 79 Classic electric guitar and a red Calzone standing road case, both of which were used extensively on tour.
