Tampa, Florida-based Christian rockers 39 Stripes announced the release of their first full-length project, Beyond Broken, October 26, 2010. The album’s debut singles “My Desire” and “Mustard Seed” are currently vying for adds at Christian AC and Rock radio.
Produced by 39 Stripes lead guitarist Steve Henderlong, Beyond Broken has been two years in the making due to a slew of significant hardships for the band, both personally and professionally. Consequently, the album, which 39 Stripes describes as its “best sounding and most well written CD to date,” focuses largely on trusting God in life’s joys and heartaches.
Steve is a long time Duncan endorsee and has used many of our products throughout the years. It’s obvious when listening to Beyond Broken that Steve is a seasoned guitar player with amazing tone. Here’s what he has to say about the Duncan pickups used on the new album.
“For the new 39 Stripes CD “Beyond Broken” I used Seymour Duncan pickups like I always do. I usually use the Custom Custom (bridge) and the Jazz (neck), but my Duncan Distortion loaded PRS guitars got a lot of use in the studio this time around. The big surprise for me was the P-Rails! P-Rails allowed me to get humbucking, single coil, and P-90 tones all from the same guitar without sacrificing tones. For our song “Blind,” I made it a point to use the P-Rails on every track just to see how much sonic ground I could cover! The cleans, means, and in-betweens are all from the P-Rail. What an awesome pickup design!”
Ray Schurr, bassist for 39 Stripes, is also a Duncan user.
“I have been using the SPB-3 & STK-J2b in all of my basses for live and studio. Nice full tones with lots of diverse sounds.”
