same guitar . It is an inexpensive small body acoustic guitar .
[ Hannah ] You do ? I ’ m thinking of putting a rubber bridge on it , but I just haven ’ t bought one yet . There ’ s not so many people here in Sydney who do that well . So probably should have got it done in Nashville , and I have a few others .
[ WM ] I can imagine that would ’ ve been somewhat scary for you to order a Martin like that without trying it first . As a drummer , I could order drums online , but I could never order cymbals . Those have to be hand-selected . So it would be scary , I would think , for you to do that .
[ Hannah ] Absolutely . Scary . But then I guess the brand kind of gives you the confidence , like , “ Okay , probably it ’ s not going to be terrible .” But it was a risky thing though , especially at that time , literally saving up your money for this beautiful instrument . But I can ’ t get away from it . I ’ ve bought a ton of other stuff since , and I always return to that one . So it ’ s definitely my go-to .
[ WM ] And what about amps or pedals ? Do you have any preferences there ?
[ Hannah ] Oh , for sure . Over the years , my rig is in shambles these days , but during my time where I would play guitar a lot , I would actually lug around a Vox AC30 . I couldn ’ t lift it to save my life because they ’ re so heavy . So I would bring up my skateboard and just roll it in . It was just insanely heavy . People were always suggesting that I go to the 15 , but I didn ’ t appreciate how bright it was . I couldn ’ t get away from how good the AC30 felt and sounded so big and warm . So , I always have returned to that amp . And then as far as guitars go , I jump around a bit . I don ’ t currently have a Strat that I own at home , but I have a little Squire that I use for demos and stuff . I ’ ve sold off a lot of my gear . But yeah , I would frequently play a Fender Strat and then just have a very basic pedalboard set up . So nothing extravagant , like some that look like spaceships you see floating around these days . I would just have one or two overdrives , obviously my tuner , a delay , sometimes a bit of compression or something like that . But I keep it fairly simple , with a little junior pedalboard to throw on my back and get around .
[ WM ] Okay , wonderful . Well , the Scottish have
