What Nationally Touring Artists think of Bandit’s work:
“Wes ‘Bandit’ Butler is legend in the field and has been my tech and straight-up gear guru for years. I’ve entrusted my guitars and signal chain to him; and, if there was ever an issue, he’s solved it, both on and off the road.”
- David Crowder
“Wes […] intuitively knows how to look for problems before they start. I’d be completely oblivious to issues my guitars and entire rig were facing. Problems solved before they even start.”
- Ben Bridwell of Band of Horses
