preference: the Fender Vibro-Champ.

DeMarco’s go-to was a Classic Series 1970’s Fender Stratocaster for years, until the guitar was snapped when it was dropped onstage in Paris.This 70’s Strat was an SSS configuration, with Fender’s Vintage-Style Single Coil pickups, which made it extremely sharp and bitey – a signature aspect of the vintage Stratocaster sound (just listen to Jimi Hendrix and his whining treble).Since the 70’s Strat was broken, DeMarco was given an endorsement deal by Fender that he would use and promote the HSS Shawbucker Stratocaster – which has helped contribute to the shift in his musical style in the last three years or so.The HSS adds a deeper aspect to the sound produced; typical humbucker pickups boost the low-end of the music which, in this case, accentuates the raw, shredding treble of the single-coil pickups.Tying into DeMarco’s style, having this humbucker richens up the usual bass note that leads into the shrill, eerie melodies (listen to “Here Comes the Cowboy”).I got my Squier Contemporary Strat at Guitar Center for about $350, and it is For a large chunk of Mac DeMarco’s history in performing and recording music, his go-to guitar has been a 1960’s vintage Japanese Teisco Del Rey E-100 electric guitar.These are not too easy to track down, but they are out there – with a maximum of 20 different Teisco guitars available across the United States on the Guitar Center website, around only 10 of which are similar with the Del Rey model that DeMarco has been using for years.His E-100 came from his local pawnshop which is exactly what he wanted; the indie and underground genres were popular in Edmonton at the time, and their use of beaten-up and sometimes crappy guitars had grabbed his attention and he wanted to see what he could do with the ironic concept of creating music on such a torn-up instrument.He walked away with the guitar for thirty dollars in extremely poor condition; the frets were worn and buzzed when played, and the action on the strings was way off – making it virtually unplayable unless a significant amount of work was put into it.Over the years he filed the frets down and got the action just right, with the Teisco eventually becoming his “signature” guitar at the age of 18 when he sold all his other guitars – including his Yamaha and his Fender Telecaster.The Teisco Del Rey E-100 was a leading guitar brands such as Gibson or Fender – which was a very common theme
