For his entire life, Grohl has been a player of various brands of electric (and acoustic!) Gibsons. Let’s run down some of the different guitars Dave Grohl has used over his career.
The Firebird was one of Grohl’s favorite models for almost a decade. So much so that it would only be the Trini Lopez that would dethrone it as his choice axe.
Ever the lover of esoteric Gibsons, Grohl started using a two-tone sunburst RD Standard model around The Colour and the Shape, and There is Nothing Left to Lose.
Toward the end of the 2000s, Grohl became a fan of Taylor acoustic guitars, specifically the 612ce. He’s used it for promotional performances on radio and solo acoustic appearances.
A classic model in the acoustic guitar world, Dave has used his D-28 since before the Foo Fighters even released a song. It’s seen a lot of live and studio use since then.
