Brad Whitford in Jan/Feb 2013 Guitar Aficionado Magazine

December 19, 2012

Check out the new issue of Guitar Aficionado (it’s the one with Clapton on the cover) for an interview, plus photos of eight of Brad’s classic guitars — including Les Pauls, Strats, Teles, Les Paul Juniors and more. 

Here’s an excerpt from Brad’s interview in the January/February 2013 issue of Guitar Aficionado magazine:

Over the ensuing four decades, Whitford bought and sold more than a few instruments, and today his collection numbers around 60 or 70 pieces. “I know what I like, and that’s a Les Paul or a Stratocaster plugged into a 100-watt Marshall or into a newer amp inspired by a Marshall.” That would include models made by 3 Monkeys, the amp company in which Whitford is a partner. “That kind of setup has been my preference ever since I saw Jimmy Page with Led Zeppelin in 1968 at Frank Connelly’s Carousel Theater in Framingham, Massachusetts. So the majority of my guitars are Les Pauls and Strats.”
