Rig Rundown - Gilad Hekselman

After releasing Trio Grande with saxophonist Will Vinson and drummer Antonio Sánchez (via Whirlwind Recordings), Gilad Hekselman virtually invited PG’s Chris Kies into his NYC-based jam space. In this episode, the jazz-guitar vanguard shows his main instruments—including a custom Italian semi-hollowbody, a rare ’70s Gibson acoustic/electric, and a bizarre-looking hollowbody—and explains how a mini tube head from Greece supplanted his favorite Fender combo, and runs through his cramped, ever-changing, self-limiting pedalboard that mimics everything from other instruments to a malfunctioning computer.
