Geared Up: Jacob Johnson Discusses His Takamine P1DC SM Guitar

There’s so much more to Jacob Johnson’s new single “Jessica” than what it would seem on the surface. For one, the song is a cover of the iconic Allman Brothers song, one of their most defining tracks. Johnson puts his spin on the iconic song, reworking it in his style and infusing it with plenty of uplifting spirituality. “Jessica” was written and composed by the late Allman Brothers Band guitarist Dickey Betts who we just lost in April. Johnson wanted to pay tribute to Betts, one of his musical heroes, by doing his version of the song. Coincidentally, Johnson’s wife is also named Jessica, with her parents naming her after the Allman Brothers classic. He viewed this as an ideal opportunity to put forward his rendition, as not just a tribute to Betts but also his wife. Thanks to the success...
