Guitars

Fender Telecaster (heavily modified)Guitar1969–1994

Gatton's modified Telecasters — typically with hotter pickups than stock, often custom-wound, and with the guitar setup for behind-the-nut bending technique. The Tele is his singular instrument for all styles; the versatility comes entirely from technique rather than guitar-switching.

Amplifiers

Fender Deluxe ReverbAmplifier1970–1994
5 other artists

The Deluxe is non-negotiable for Gatton — its warm, natural breakup under hard playing and spring reverb define the sonic context for his all-styles technique. He runs it at the volume where picking hard produces a slight natural breakup.
