Talking about those artists who are world famous and always have their treasured instrument(s) like Willie Nelson and his “Trigger” guitar.
Where do these artists typically store their instruments when not performing? If on tour, do they keep it on the bus or in their room?
I know everyone is different, but just wondering about some examples and/or the general places they’d keep them.
I work for a lighting and staging company and it’s different with each artist, some we hold on to for the artists, some are donated to us, most are kept on the tour trucks with the crew chiefs keeping eyes on them all the time
The bigger the artist, the more likely they are to have a crew handling their gear. It is probably in whatever trailer or van they use to transport the gear when not on stage, then on/around the stage pretty quickly once the artist gets to the next city.
The only reason Tom Petty was in the Wilburys was that George Harrison left his guitar in Petty’s studio, and had to go get it. He brought Petty back with him.
I’m going to say “What is Tom Petty’s studio?”
Dimebag Darrell kept his at home. He is the only one I know for sure. Ola Englund did a tour I think.
