"so im packing my bullets and silvertones and heading east"

ben plays (he used to) fender bullets (not squiers you fucking noobs) through a sears silvertone head (the one with the large circular knobs).

i used to just sing along, not making any note of it.

I swear he had a squier at some point. Maybe when he was doing pinwheel.

nono, after pinwheel.

i have picture proof of him using a squier bullet during a dcfc performance ('99 i think).

the funny thing is, is that its a fender style "bullet" (tele head), not the newer squier bullet. im guessing its from the 80's?

Yes, Ben used a squier bullet the first year or two of Death cab's existence, it wasn't his onyl guitar but he used it.

well he used a squier...

ben also has a silvertone acoustic guitar, it has a white pickguard i believe. he used it at the toronto show i went to

it broke on t.v. hahaha. I don't think he'll be using it again any time soon. I think they just put a mic inside and it fucked up so he threw it on the ground.

that was great. he didn't really throw it. he more set it down, then kicked it.

ya. nice guitar, I saw one in a shop in seattle the other day. I bought a harmony instead. So nice.

...broken when? snl?

I didn't catch this...

obviosuly..... it was on comedy central i think

Oh.

I never watched it.

what has he been using now?
I'm thinking its a C.F. Martin, cause the headstock kinda resembled one.
But i'm not sure the model if it is one.

ASAT thinline tele.

it purplexes me why ben uses thinline tele copies and not just the real thing
probably cause the copies are cheaper

in toronto he used his brown thinline actual tele for a song and i felt honored to be in its presence
