Abstract

This article focuses on country superstar Keith Urban’s passion for guitars, amplifiers, and pedals, highlighting his experiences with vintage and affordable instruments. Urban discusses his first serious guitar purchases, including a 1982 Fender Stratocaster and a 1972 Fender Mustang bass, and shares stories about notable acquisitions such as the Nocaster once owned by Cinderella’s Tom Keifer. He emphasizes the importance of emotional connection and inspiration when choosing guitars, regardless of price or brand, and expresses a preference for single-coil pickups due to their character. Urban also reflects on missed opportunities and sentimental attachments to certain instruments throughout his career. [Extracted from the article]
