Camila Cabello - Bad Things - Acoustic Guitar Lesson

Fender Stratocaster

Camila Cabello's live guitarists use Stratocasters with the tone rolled back to achieve her signature mellow, piano-like neck pickup tone. The single-coil neck pickup delivers the warm, rounded attack that sits perfectly beneath her vocals without competing in the mix.

Fender Telecaster

Fender Telecasters appear in Cabello's live performances, providing a clean, articulate foundation for her pop arrangements. With tone controls dialed back, they produce the pristine, full-bodied warmth essential to her minimal, vocal-forward production style.

Gibson ES-335

The Gibson ES-335 semi-hollow body delivers the warm, rounded tone featured on studio tracks like 'Havana.' Its inherent low-mid presence and natural resonance create the full, rich guitar bed that supports Cabello's vocals and synth layers perfectly.

Fender Twin Reverb

The Fender Twin Reverb provides Cabello's studio guitar tone with pristine clean headroom and lush spring reverb, set conservatively to add depth without muddiness. Its warm character at moderate volumes creates the polished, full-bodied foundation her arrangements require.

Fender Deluxe Reverb

The Fender Deluxe Reverb delivers the same clean, warm tone as Cabello's studio recordings with slightly more compact dynamics. Its built-in reverb and natural breakup resistance ensure her guitar parts remain ethereal and supportive of her vocals.
