From the comments
"mostly it has to do with amp switching. i have a tone bone switcher that sends the guitar signal to two amps (one for clean, one for overdrive). both amps are made from old film projectors. i have a headbone switcher that sends the signal from the two amps to 1 x 15" cabinet (early 1960's Jensen Alnico) and allows me to switch channels. i have 3 pedals: an analogman king of tone (used sometimes for boost, but not really for overdrive), an analogman analog delay, and a bigfoot fx magnavibe (magnatone vibrato/trem). finally, for basic reverb and tremolo, i'm using a victoria reverberato (all tube) that's been slightly modded.
for these concerts, i am playing my monteleone 2003 radio flyer, a new telecaster '64-style reissue that i've changed the pickups (ellis) and bridge saddles (kohler) on, an 1965 kapa continental with a '50's dearmond gold foil pickup and a little newcustom wound steel guitar style pickup at the bridge, a 1934 gibson acoustic f-hole guitar for acoustic 4/4 rhythm, and an eastman OM style acoustic."

I really like the way he approaches equipment. My vision of the typical big time player is that of an individual who pays a great deal off attention to the directly musical elements of his/her craft and far less time to the mechanical components of their tone. Obviously, not personally knowing the players of which I speak, I can be way in my perception of their concepts of guitar gear.
That said, a little bit ago someone posted a video of Anthony taking his new Telecaster out for a test drive, and the feeling I got was that of an enthusiastic hobbyist posting a high quality NGD massage on a board such as this rather than that of a jaded, cynical road warrior. He comes across as a happy person who really loves and appreciates what he does for a living.
Thanks for posting.

Great player. By coincidence, my iPad wallpaper at the moment is a shot of his Byrdland.
He swapped out his Monteleone's original pickup for a Lollar gold foil floater last year.

The last concert I saw before moving to the desert was Anthony Wilson it was great. His gear was his guitar and a Deluxe Reverb in a chair. Sounded great, but I like simple.

i bloody loved his sound on that birdland

David thanks for the pickup info.

If you haven't heard it, listen to the Four Seasons suite that he composed for Monteleone's set of four guitars (named after the seasons). It's played by Anthony Wilson, Julian Lage, Chico Pinhero and Steve Cardenas. The precision of their playing is best appreciated in good headphones, as lines start on one guitar and finish seamlessly on another.
Here's a rehearsal although the musician lineup is different (Larry Koonse instead of Steve Cardenas, who performs on the live performance CD; interesting to note that all four of those guitars appear to have Kent Armstrong PAF-0 pickups):
Here's the trailer for the concert recording:

A very nice tone video imo:

Whereas she's not particularly a favourite singer (although I like her better than a lot of what is on the radio, which is why I don't listen to that medium very often), I have to say...Mrs. McManus does pick some tasty guitar players to adorn her tunes. Anthony Wilson, Russell Malone, Peter Bernstein...if you went to her gig, you wouldn't be disappointed with whichever of those guys came out on stage with her, would you?
-
If she came out on stage looking like this, I wouldn't care which guitarist she had with her.

Back OT, seems to me guitarist of all stripes are much more gear heads than they ever used to be. Maybe that's because there are more choices. Or when you have more success and have your playing down you have more money and time to spend on gear.

Diana had a very good run of albums in the late mid to late 90's through about 2004. The Look of Love LP and the live DVD recording of the Parisian concert is one my all time favorites. Anthony does some fabulous playing on the live DVD recording...it's a must have DVD. Claus Olberman, John Clayton, John Pisano, the performer list from that live session is nearly endless.

If you've not seen the DVD buy it and thank me later.

Maybe having twins had something to do with her obvious music choices and performance change as well. I'll always remember seeing her perform in B.C piano bars long before anyone ever heard of Diana Krall. Originally Posted by docbop

Wilson's solo here is so killing!
-
-
I love all his solos on that DVD... his organ trio recordings are sublime too.
I am glad more people here enjoy his playing!
-
here's Anthony at his best! "Diana Krall Live In Paris" video. as good as Diana Krall is-today's best vocal phrasing, tune selection & tasty improv, she gave him plenty of soloing room & for me- Anthony Wilson stole the show! Larry "K"
-
Sorry to revive this thread... But, what floating pickup is he using in that Monteleone guitar?
-
The Byrdland tone on the Live in Paris is tops in my book, along with tastefully crafted, swinging solos. Great album. I really like his album with Chico Pinheiro, (Nova?) - monster players with different takes on comping and solos. Two of my faves. I like the tone of the Monteleone, but like the Byrdland better.
I still like Diana Krall, total class (although I'm not sure what she saw in Mr. Costello, but I'm glad they're happy.) First time I saw her live was the first time I'd heard Peter Bernstein... blew me away. He was still playing his L5 at the time, (although he told me he was sure it was his Brown Betty... I know an L5 when I see one) Awesome tone through a Twin, total Wes vibe at the time. She does pick great guitarists!
-
Agreed. He's got a "Jim Hallian" (forgive me for creating new adjectives) gift for creating such thoughtful solos that they sound as though they could have been through composed. Originally Posted by yebdox

In Miami, you can't pay $15 to walk into a club that plays mp3s of dance music.
