Premier Guitar’s John Bohlinger met with modern surf-guitar superheroes Eddie Angel and Greg Townson of Los Straitjackets before their hometown show in Nashville. Both guitarists prove that sometimes all you need is a guitar and an amp to rock and roll.
Eddie Angel rocks a sparkly DiPinto Galaxie 4 that houses four single-coil DiPinto pickups. It’s nearly identical to Townson’s guitar with the exception of the five-position switch on the upper bout. Angel spends nearly the entire show on the bridge pickup and strings up his guitar with a hefty set of Ernie Ball Power Slinky strings (.).
Greg Townson plays the DiPinto Los Straitjackets Signature Galaxie 4 as well, but his version has four small buttons that turn each pickup on and off. He uses D’Addario Nickel Wound .011–.049 strings and if either guitarist breaks a string they keep a single Galaxie on the road as a backup.
