Leonard's Tour Rig

[PJPlec]

Does anyone know what rig Leonard uses on tour, I could see he uses a Godin guitar, I wonder what strings and amplifier he uses?

You may want to try asking that question on the website of Leif Bodnarchuk http://leifb73.com/
He is the guitar technician for the band.

Leif is not Leonard's guitar tech. Doubt very much if this type of info would be made public.

Ok, then do you know who is? I thought Leif was the guitar tech for the entire band but you could be right.

I don´t think equipment is such a big secret.
Sometimes it is published in guitar or other music magazines as part of an interview.
Also, musicians are often endorsed by instrument and equipment manufacturers and then this information is often used for advertising.
From personal experience, I exchanged some email with Mitch Watkins asking him about his guitar and amps and the explained to me exactly what I wanted to know.

Leif is Mitch's tech. However, I'm sure he would be willing and able to answer some basic questions re Leonard's guitars etc (as, I'm sure could some forum members). Leif has opened up a dialogue with the public via his blog and he is very responsive so I say go for it. What have you got to lose?

Mickey Sullivan used to be Leonard and Javier's guitar tech.
Leonard used to use a Godin Multiac guitar and an SWR amp.
I'm not sure if this information is still current.

On the last tours he played several models of godin, not just the multiac. It always looks the same because they are very similar.
On "the future" tour (1993) he played a Godin TeleClassic Nylon (it can be recognized by the absence of a logo, and by the different buttons design)
On "Live in London" (recorded 2008) he played a Godin Multiac.
On "Songs from the Road" (recorded 2008-2009) booklet the guitars in the photos are not the Multiac but the Godin Teleclassic Nylon (same model of 1993) and the Godin GrandConcert (easy to recognized: you can read "GrandConcert" on the guitar on the back photo).
On "Live in Dublin" (recorded 2013) he played the Godin Teleclassic Nylan.
------
Checking the videos on youtube you can see that the guitars he plays are not always the same (in addition to the 3 different types, you can also rarely see guitars of the same models but other colors).
------
Watching the videos of various concerts on youtube I am quite certain that in the Multiac and GrandConcert guitars he only played them in 2008/2009, and from 2010 on he returned back to TeleClassic Nylon like the Future Tour.
