For husband-and-wife duo Drew & Ellie Holcomb, their most beloved instruments are filled with memories — both musical and personal. Drew spotlights his custom Franks Model L-00 guitar, built by a luthier friend before his career had taken off. "This guitar symbolizes people who believed in us and our music for a long time," he shares. "It's really special to have memories directly related to the guitar — both songwriting and recent shows. Guitars become like your best friends as a musician… you can always count on them."
Ellie highlights her Lore Mini mandolin, a wedding gift from Drew nearly 19 years ago. "It was the best gift. I had never played the mandolin… I really taught myself how to play it, and I felt like a real-life Guitar Hero — but with a mandolin instead." For the Holcombs, these instruments are more than gear — they’re longtime companions in a musical journey. For more episodes of It Goes To 11, visit GRAMMY.com/videos.
