Can't think of anyone more deserving of a rig rundown than this man. Such a virtuoso and fantastic teacher.

Tim doesn’t have a rig. He has a mission control center.
TIM PIERCE, such an amazing, polished, intricate player! Yet to watch the ease to which he bonds with any guitar he is playing, is so relaxed. Like he’s sitting on a couch having a cup of coffee. He looks so laid back, and really enjoying his craft. He makes this look so easy, but we all know how painstakingly hard it truly is to accomplish. He has his own tone, but can mimic and match the best guitar gods out there, effortlessly! Love to see a segment of TIM, and JOHN, jamming together! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I can’t put a number on how many times I’ve heard Tim talk about his gear, approach, set up,reasoning, etc. It will absolutely never get old. His skill and touch are one thing but his joy and devotion to music are what brings me back. Such a legend.
Nicest guitarist in the world. Tone monster!
Tim and John. Tone and gear talk hosts match made in heaven. Fantastic video and two of the nicest, coolest dudes in all the guitar world! I could listen to them talk gear and tones for hours. God bless and rock on 🎸😎

A thousand times: Tim and John!!
Tim’s the man! What a sweet guy. His command center cockpit is unreal. Great episode
Tim has got to be one of the best players on Earth right now....every note he plays just BELONGS there...
I've never seen JB so quiet, he looks completely mesmerised by Tim's rig and masterful playing. Love it ❤

Imoho John uses his excellent interviewing skills to guide rig rundowns and asks questions to help artists provide their pertinent gear info. He’s great at asking the right stuff, then pretty much staying out of the way while they answer. With Tim most of this isn’t necessary. Tim’s a master communicator who’s been refining things through hundreds of videos over the years….and he’s demoed his guitars and cockpit many times on his own and other channels .This seems like it was an easy one for John, he could just let Tim go and enjoy the music and the info. Two pros doing their thing.
At last!! Tim is one of those legends who so few people know of by name - yet many many have heard play as a sessionman on thousands of songs. Can't wait to watch this. His enthusiasm, humility - & that smile of his - always warms my heart.
Love Tim Pierce! What an articulate and informed guy. Plus his guitar face is one of the best .. like pure joy!
Tim is a inspirational gift to all dedicated musicians to follow and learn
Tim has probably played on more songs than you can count. Amazing player and seems like a super chilled dude! Cheers for sharing.
I love how Tim is just having fun while doing this the whole time. This was awesome John!
You can call it tremolo, vibrato, whatever you want Tim, you are the boss! Master musician. 🙌
Seriously the most powerful home studio I've ever seen. Tim is such an inspirational player. Great episode guys!

Tim is one totally melodic guitar man! That Les Paul is a beaut!
The best tone, the nicest guy and the coolest gear! Tim’s the man!
Tim Pierce is a breath of fresh air. You gotta' love this guy ...! Great player ...He's just so genuine.
Love how Tim just drops in 'I met Tom thru Joe Bonamassa'. There's another story - but Tim has such humility, it's never a name drop with him.
Tim definitely gets the award for most amazing home guitar setup and rig!!!! And definitely gonna need those Tim Pierce signature pickups!!!
Best Rig Rundown - EVER! Tim is the man. Such a happy, cool guy.
He's such an inspiring guy. If you watch him play, it is always a motivation to go further on your instrument. No matter, what your level is ...

Tim has the best tone I’ve ever heard… It’s always different but always amazing. Doesn’t matter what guitar or amp/modulator he’s playing through… Which makes me think it’s just how he plays
So good! I love Bolinger's face looking over Tim's shoulder in the second half. So great to see his reactions as a real fan.
Tim, you have the most Elaborate, Setup of things that i ever saw in my life, Cousin Figel
How do you know you are a geek .... 1 -You clicked on this the instant you saw it 2 - You know and agree with everything they are talking about.... 3- Can't wait till the Tim Pierce pickups are available and are on reverb looking for a " New Platform" to put them 😂😂

Tim is right on the money on everything: 1) Guitars are tools of the trade: they're better with modern improvements but without leaving the aesthetics aside (vintage vibe or whatever works for you) 2) Amps, speakers and pedals complementing each other 3) Setting the environment up so one can focus on creativity and not connecting/disconnecting, setting up, etc. thanks for this rig rundown, Tim is a player but also a guitar gear expert, which makes it more interesting.
How is this only NOW happening?!! Tim is incredible!
Tim and John! YES! Two of my favorite KZread people. God bless y'all.
One of the most impressive rigs ever.
GOAT!! Tim has to be the sweetest guy. A true inspiration ❤
Thank you so much for doing that! Tim's been featured on so many records, he deserves the attention! This was an amazing learning experience!
The guitars and amps are great. But that studio setup........
Tim has alot of good friends with really famous people. Wonder what its like to be really good friends with really famous people. Also the tone on his Jaguar is just insane. The reverb is great. Thanks for showing it Tim! Thanks for the content Premier Guitar. Very Cool Stuff
So thankful for both of you. Since picking back the guitar up after a very long absence, I can say with certainty how much I’ve appreciated sitting at your feet here on KZread and immersing myself in Tone Town and tutorials and the passion both of you have for sharing!
Tim Pierce is such an inspiration and talented musician. Thank you so much for doing this RR. As always PG does it again.
Tim has one of the most interesting channels on KZread. Never miss anything he posts
What a lovely playing!! So awesome!
A couple of my favorite youtube guitar guys. Thanks to you both.
What an awesome Rig Rundown. I love the ones with great session players, they're so generous with their insight and process. John is so good at just letting an artist talk as well

Tim used to do a great Dick Suckdown on my penis back in the day! Really great stuff
Tim is a genius and a musical wizard!
Tim the consumate professional. Just listening to the care and attention he has given to designing his cockpit so as to get the best out of the artist he is working with - and giving off his best. A lesson that goes way beyond being a musician.
I love listening to Tim, his knowledge is incredible and his tone and the way he plays is amazing
What a home studio! That might be the most impressive guitar cave I have ever seen. Tim has spent years learning all of these things and is now able to do ANYTHING at the press of some buttons. Just wow. Great rig rundown!!
It's nice to see someone with so much talent and so little ego. Tim is amazing.
Every single time I see Tim I can't help but think, "Man, he'd be so cool to hang out with."
Thanks for this incredible video Tim and John. Sure appreciate everything you guys do!
It's a pleasure to watch, always smiling and enjoying the sound, congratulations to both of you, good work ❤
It's literally the tastiest licks ever!❤
What a stunning rig and setup. Tim Pierce is the man !
Great stuff - obviously love Tim's playing but love his ethos just as much. So refreshing hearing such an expert talk about "player grade" and new guitars with such enthusiasm. Much a pleasant change from all the vintage megabucks stuff.
Love Tim. Love John. Thanks for another great video.
Gracious and generous in sharing his information. Thanks John and Tim!
Such an excellent video! Thanks so much John and Tim for sharing your wealth of experience and gear knowledge. This was so incredibly insightful!
So great to see this come up in the recommended videos--two great guys in one video
thank you again for this. What a lovely dude is Tim.
Tim and John are both great guitarists and good people.
That is the sweetest, most gorgeous sounding 335 - I need one.
Nice Boys! Great pleasure seeing this rundown!
Yep, I've been waiting for this one. Tim is phenomenal.
Maybe best episode ever.
Fantastic rundown here, Tim is so cool, incredible knowledge and experience in tone, and yes, he can play quite well
This was fun! Love Tim. Love this channel.
Thank you! This is awesome.
Really great interview! Thank you both!
Time is such a pro’s pro, and anything he says is pretty much golden to me. Love it!
COMMAND CENTER! Tim seems like such an awesome guy. I love all his videos. I hope he keeps working for another 20+ years.
Tim’s happiness is pure AF
Tim is the best. Super nice, too. He did some auxiliary tracking on our first record, when I was a green newbie and couldn't nail studio parts.
Thanks John! I felt like my astonishment matched yours, as you followed Tim through his maze!
I love Premier Guitar AND Tim Pierce! Great Rig Rundown.
Wow. Best Rig Rundown EVER! This is INSANE! 👌
What a great episode! I think we're due for an updated rundown on Tom Bukovac
Very inspiring, enough said. Thanks Tim.
Loved this - thanks for getting Tim on here!
I love the rundown of the Command Center! So cool.
You always manage to get a magic sound Tim... love it mate!

What makes the vintage PAF's so tasty is they were low output. Tim knew to get that tone on his '60 reissue had to have low output pick ups.

Tim Pierce is a treasure!
Timmy!! Such a treat
What a consumate professional with just an insanely huge cockpit of musical fun! Tim is Grade-A class and perfection. I can only imagine what Tim's electric bill is on a monthly basis! 😂😮
*Finally we get to see behind Tim's green curtain. LOL moment when John asked "How loud are your amps?"; Tim said "Jet engine loud, and stadium loud."* ✌❤&🎶
I have a set of Tom Holmes coil-tapped pickups on my '69 Les Paul. They are indeed wonderful.
This was GREAT! Thanks Tim and John
You're both fabulous. Monster contribution.
That outro tone, da fugg man... brilliant!
So cool John! Man what an amazing rig Tim has in the cockpit lol
Agreed that this is a golden age for 🎸 electronics, I still like the old stuff, y'all keep on rocking!!
