Relaxing on his tour bus before a gig, John Hiatt reaches for just one guitar: a 1947 Gibson LG-2. He bought the instrument from Nashville’s Gruhn Guitars around 1986 for around $800 and it has since remained a constant picking and songwriting companion. “I picked it up and immediately it had that thing where it resonates with you and you get all connected up with it, chords just feel right,” the singer-songwriter says. “I carry it with me on the road. I love it. I’d like to play it onstage but it’s just a little too tender and fragile.”

In this video, Hiatt tells us about his cherished Gibson and plays "Long Time Coming," a tune off of his 2014 album, 'Terms of My Surrender.'

Exact opposite of me. I had to know IT ALL before I tried to write anything. John may just be a mile or two above me.
