Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/dann-huff Subscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTube The all-star producer invites John Bohlinger to his home studio for a glimpse of his most treasured gear. Veteran producer and behind-the-scenes guitar superstar Dann Huff released his debut solo album, When Words Aren’t Enough, on May 30, but his career began long before that. He’s been making records and playing guitar for roughly 50 years, working with everyone from Taylor Swift to Rodney Crowell to Michael Jackson. His home studio is where the magic happens, and for this Rig Rundown, he invited PG’s John Bohlinger over to talk about his career, his new record, and the best bits of gear he’s played along the way. Keep an eye out for our feature on Huff online and in our August print issue.
