Hannah Harper's Gear List

Get the Sound Behind the Golden Ticket.

You’ve watched her move the judges to tears with her original hit "String Cheese," but long before she was an American Idol standout, Hannah Harper was a member of The Acoustic Shoppe family.

As a dedicated TAS Community Pro, Hannah trusts our team to keep her stage-ready. Whether she is performing live, recording originals about motherhood, or wowing judges on national TV, she relies on a specific set of tools to create her signature, authentic bluegrass tone. Shop her personal rig below.

Why Hannah Harper Plays Bourgeois

For her audition and live performances, Hannah relies on the Bourgeois Touchstone Series OM. Known for its "vintage" voicing and touch sensitivity, this guitar complements her dynamic vocal range perfectly—allowing for delicate fingerpicking on songs like "String Cheese" and powerful strumming on bluegrass standards.

Hannah's Essential Accessories

Capturing Hannah's sound requires more than just the guitar. Her rig is built for reliability and tone:

BlueChip Picks: Hannah uses the TP48 and STP60 for that smooth, noiseless attack that is essential for professional recording.
D'Addario XS Strings: To maintain a fresh tone under hot stage lights, she trusts D'Addario's coated XS Phosphor Bronze series.
Performance Gear: From her Paige Capo to the Micro Soundhole Tuner, every piece of gear in this collection is road-tested by Hannah herself.
