The Highwaymen took this guitar on the road. The guitar features Seymour Duncan's Mag Mic pickup. Plus, you can clearly see Doc's very own blood, sweat and tears that went into the natural ware and tear of the guitar. Chris Darley and Doc Pittillo breakdown Doc's main player: a very loved vintage acoustic.
In this episode of Mothership Gear, Chris Darley sat down with Doc Pittillo to discuss his incredible career as a guitar builder, luthier and musician.
Head over to YouTube for the full episode on our channel.
Excited to have @guitardoctorcm and @dirtydixie on Mothership Gear talking through Doc’s career as a guitar luthier in Orange County. Here’s a clip of us shooting some images for the upcoming episode. 📸

Mods, amp tweaks, tiny adjustments, it's all about "where do you live, and where do you wanna go?"

Please welcome Dixie to the V Records roster, and check out his new single "Heartache", which is out today and available on major streaming platforms!
@dirtydixie boasts an impressive professional pedigree. As a touring and recording guitar player, Chris Dixie Darley has played on lauded releases like Drug Dealer’s “Hiding in Plain Sight” (2022), Michael Rault’s self-titled 2022 release, and, most recently, Father John Misty’s “Mahashmashana” (2024) with co-writing credits. Dixie also wrote all the music on Brooks Nielsen of the Growlers’ 2022 solo effort, “One Match Left”. Currently, he tours internationally as the guitarist for Father John Misty.
His tenure as a producer and engineer at Voyager Studios has already yielded impressive results with releases from promising young artists like Evan Blix with “Only You / Poor Annie” and Will Worden with his new release, “The Only One and All the Others” (2025).
The first solo effort from Dixie presents an entirely new standard: upbeat harmony-driven rockers that are as impressive for their musical acumen as they are for their sheer enjoyability. “Heartache”, the first single off of Dixie's upcoming LP (due Fall 2025), is struck of frill and entirely without lull. Think NRBQ and Brinsley Schwarz go to Bakersfield.
“Heartache” is out on all streaming services! If you like it share it please!!! Thanks to everyone involved…@godspeedwarrior helped co-write with lyrical magic. @david_vandervelde on guitar, organ, steel and bgvs. @frank_lenz with his one of a kind drum and percussion skills! @sikoraguitar@voyager_recording for engineering, mixing, and mastering the tune. THANK YOU EVERYONE AND HOPE YOU ENJOY. Full LP out in fall 2025…
