PG’S John Bohlinger hung with Marcus King before his gig at Nashville’s 3rd and Lindsley. King goes with the tried-and-true combination of Gibsons and Supers to blend with his rocking band of soulful horns and funky keyboards.
King’s No. 1 is this 2016 Gibson Memphis 1964 ES-345TD reissue. It replaced his grandfather’s vintage 345 which is too valuable to beat up on tour.
The backup is his 2016 Gibson Les Paul goldtop ’57 reissue loaded up with Seymour Duncan Antiquities. It has a total Duane Allman “Layla” vibe. Both Gibsons are strung with Elixr .011–.049 strings and King uses Dunlop Jazz 3 picks.
