Episode 217 - The Ibanez MC400DS with Jim Fairchild
Guitarist Jim Fairchild started his music career in the group Grandaddy. Along the way, and through various other beautiful projects, he played with Modest Mouse. Now, under the name Small Isles, Jim is creating lush instrumental soundscapes with impeccable, cinematic narrative arcs; they tell the whole story without a word. Jim stops by to talk to us about an Ibanez MC400DS guitar from 1978. Listen in as we all become increasingly perplexed by the amount of knobs and switches on this thing. Enjoy!

Well played, Mr. Fairchild...
