The video shows Julian Lage while plays this gear.' Right, right! It’s a ’54 Tele that I think went back for a factory refinish in ’57. I got it from Paul McKenzie, from Fiesta Finishes in Berkeley, California, and he had just refinished it. As a guitarist you know that those are kind of untouchable, usually, as far buying them, or finding them at a reasonable price, but because it had two refinishes it wasn’t exactly “stock.” The pickups and everything else is original, it’s just been painted a couple times.'

Please check his latest release ARCLIGHT on Mack Avenue Records. It includes some of the most talented, beautiful and challenging guitar work ever done on a Tele style guitar.
I feel so grateful and privileged that he decided to use '0082' during his last European tour and I hope he will enjoy this instrument for many years to come.' We are honored that guitarist extraordinaire Julian Lage, has been using our B1G 1 Preamp Gain Booster on tour. He was kind enough to take a minute out of his day to send a message about his experience with the B1G 1. Here's what he had to say: 'The B1G 1 pedal has quickly become a staple of my live set up.
This is one of the most insantly useful pedals I’ve ever encountered - it essentially adds warmth and top end to the sound, all in a unified way, revealing what is coming from the guitar without ever feeling overly hyped. I am so fond of this pedal because it highlights and brings forth so much of what I love about the electric guitar, namely overtones and a wide dynamic range. Regardless of what amp I use the B1G 1 with, it seems to function almost like the mastering stage of an album - it is subtle and instantly musical, and when its not there, you sure miss it!' Thanks Julian!!
Talk to any musician who deals with improvisatory music and you’ll soon discover that the studio is merely a means to get to the stage—where the real exploration happens. Last August, Julian Lage brought his working trio of bassist Scott Colley and drummer Kenney Wollesen to Nashville’s Station Inn for a set of brand-new music. Lage’s latest album, Modern Lore, was already in the can, and the trio used this show to see where they could take his new tunes. The concert was captured on video, and “Look Book” gives us a sense of the magic that transpired that night. Armed with a Nachocaster Broadcaster, built by luthier Nacho Banos, and a 1964 Fender Princeton Reverb, Lage delivered his lines with a full tone edged with just a hint of breakup. The fiery energy that bubbles up from the intro is as palpable and swinging as anything the jazz guitarist has put to tape.The inspiration for the tune came from a few different sources, according to Lage.
“There’s an Ornette Coleman album called Tomorrow Is the Question! And I wanted to write something with a similar temperament.
A launchpad of sorts.” To spark creativity, Lage often gives himself this kind of assignment, and in this 7-minute video, we witness the effectiveness of his approach. For “Look Book,” Lage sought an Ornette-meets-Charles-Lloyd vibe, but he decided to write the arrangement first, then the tune, and Colley’s propulsive walking-bass solo was a part of the arrangement Lage sketched out. “I didn’t want this tune to feel like a test,” he says, “I wanted it to feel unfettered.” The venue also played a role in the band’s spirited performance. “I just love that club,” says Lage.
