Rag'n'Bone Man - Human - Guitar Cover

Fender Stratocaster

Rag'n'Bone Man's band uses Stratocasters for their versatile single-coil brightness and smooth contoured body comfort during live performances. The three-pickup configuration provides tonal flexibility across the rhythmic, soulful strumming patterns that define his music.

Fender Telecaster

The Telecaster's snappy bridge pickup is essential for the percussive, rhythmic attack in Rag'n'Bone Man's songs like 'Human,' cutting through the mix with crisp articulation. Its single-coil snap perfectly complements ghost-note and muted-strum techniques central to his style.

Fender Twin Reverb

Set at volume 4-5, the Twin Reverb delivers the warm, clean headroom Rag'n'Bone Man needs without unwanted saturation, letting dynamic picking dynamics shine. Its built-in spring reverb adds depth while maintaining the clarity essential to his rhythm-focused approach.

Fender Deluxe Reverb

The Deluxe Reverb provides the same edge-of-breakup clean tone as the Twin but in a more compact package for live gigs, with vintage spring reverb that adds tasteful depth. Its natural compression at moderate volumes enhances the responsiveness needed for Rag'n'Bone Man's dynamic playing style.

MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay

This analog delay adds subtle texture to Rag'n'Bone Man's sustained passages without drowning his tight rhythm work in effects noise. Its warm, tape-like character complements his minimal, tone-from-the-fingers philosophy perfectly.
