(Pete, who has a 30-year history with Duncan, claims that MJ is absolutely the best.) They went through 10 pickup prototypes before arriving at the final noise-canceling version, which features alnico 2 magnets and blades instead of pole pieces. Pete has made a few changes on his personal instrument: Maricela “MJ” Juarez of the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop wound the pickups. This unique guitar features locking tuners, a dual-action truss rod, a compensating nut, uni-bracing, and tons of mojo. Pete eventually went with Reverend, who worked from Pete’s sketch to build the sexy-shaped, Bigsby-equipped, hollowbody Pete Anderson PA-1. Several guitar companies courted Anderson in hopes of making a signature model. For years he played Fender Teles and Tom Anderson Tele-style models.īut when it came time for a signature guitar, Pete had turned a page in his career, and was getting back to playing blues on a hollowbody. Pete provided details on the genesis of his signature Reverend guitars and his no-amp, no-pedalboard rig.Īfter practically inventing neo-country twang in the ‘80s with Dwight Yoakam, Pete Anderson will probably always be associated with Telecasters. John Bohlinger from Premier Guitar met with award-winning guitarist/artist/producer Pete Anderson before his March 19th, 2014, gig at the Loveless Cafe in Nashville.
