Darrel Higham is known as one of the best Rockabilly guitarists alive today – if not of all time. If you haven’t heard of him, there are loads of clips on YouTube. He’s also constantly touring.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t find that much about what Darrel is using guitar-wise. So, that’s why I’ve put this together. While his rig may be simple, his playing style is anything but! Here’s a look at Darrel Higham guitar gear!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I discovered Darrel in around 2006 when I read an interview with him about his then signature guitar, the Peavey Rockingham<\/a>. I later acquired one. It’s a really great inexpensive guitar. He still has a few Rockingham guitars in his collection.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Among his extensive guitar collection is a Gibson ES-5 Switchmaster guitar with 3 P90 pickups, a Gretsch White Falcon guitar, and a Gibson ES-295<\/a>. He has a collection of classic guitars we should all envy!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He also has a Gretsch 6120, the same model that Eddie Cochran used. Eddie is one of his key influences. Plus, there’s no guitar like a 6120!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In general, Darrel likes to change the pickups to a P-90 in the neck position, a DeArmond in the bridge, and a fixed arm Bigsby.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Live, his pedalboard only has three pedals on it. There are two Zoom G2, both set up with the same presets. He largely uses a patch with reverb and another with a tremolo sound. He only uses one, with the other being a backup. Also, he uses the tuner on the G2.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The third pedal is a Danelectro Reel Echo, used for a little slapback delay on a few numbers. Powering the pedals is a T-rex Fuel Tank<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lastly, on top of the amp is an Electro Harmonix Hum Debugger<\/a> keeping hum to a minimum.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nPedals<\/h2>\n
