Paul Pigat Compares Vintage VS. New Guitars Via Guitar Aficionado
Posted: December 9, 2011
Paul Pigat, the prolific and highly versatile rockabilly player, is also a self-proclaimed “guitaraholic.”
In an interview with Guitar Aficionado, the Gretsch artist admits to embarking on a never-ending journey in search of the “perfect” guitar.
“Vintage guitars are COOL!” Pigat tells Guitar Aficionado. “They have a look and a patina that screams experience. Who doesn’t want to think that their guitar has “been around,” so to speak, and has experience?”
Although the vintage-loving player loves his elderly guitars, he says his new models are more reliable.
“So now I’m traveling with a bunch of new instruments in my arsenal,” Pigat tells the magazine. “They may not have the ‘retro cool’ factor, but they are all based on traditional designs; so, from a distance, most folks can’t tell the difference and they sound great!”

Guitar Player Features Q&A With Paul Pigat
Posted: September 30, 2011
Guitar Player magazine’s September issue features a Q&A with Gretsch artist Paul Pigat.
Although known mostly as a rockabilly artist, Pigat can play anything from jazz to punk music.
“I love it, and it’s been the thing I’ve done the longest, but I wouldn’t call it defining,” says Pigat of rockabilly.
The Gretsch-wielding player also explains that his gear preference depends on what genre he’s playing.
“If I’m doing rockabilly, then Gretsch is usually my first call,” he tells the magazine. Specifically, Pigat’s model of choice is the two-tone Gretsch G6196TSP-2G Country Club played through his Gretsch Excecutive Amp.
Pigat currently has a handful of shows on the books in his native Canada. Check out tour dates here and visit Guitar Player here to read the full article.
