Electric Guitars:
Gibson ES-355
one is a sunburst, there was an older red one which
doesn't seem to be used anymore and another is
black. black is used mainly - from what I've noticed -
on Dondante.
Gibson Flying V -
He has actually had two of these, both with mirror
pickguards. From pictures I've seen, it looks like the
older one's pickguard was being held in place with
some fashionable black electrical tape, thus the
new one would be a replacement.
Ovation 12-String - red
used on What A Wonderful Man
Fender early 70's sunburst Strat
used earlier in 2005 on Lay Low's solo (he would
perform the beginning of the song guitar-less). Now
the Flying V is used for that part.
Ibanez Iceman - Sunburst
From what I can tell, used once at Austin City Limits
Fest in 2004
Acoustic Guitars
Gibson J-185
His primary acoustic guitar. Has a full-soundhole
pickup of some type. Used for sheer rock madness
on It Beats 4 U, and for dripping sweet southern-
fried, chicken-pickin', Colonel Sanders down-home
southern goodness on tunes like Golden.
Takamine something-or-other
Jim doesn't actually know which model it is, but it
was the guitar he began writing music on. Has
three holographic stickers on the lower body past
the bridge. He doesn't normally play it live
anymore.
Amplifier
Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier head on top of a 2x12 Mesa Boogie cabinet. I've been told a story about Jim having used to use a Mesa Nomad (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong) in the early days, and that those things are constructed so that there's a horribly noticable break in the signal when the channels are switched. And that the entire rest of the band was quite relieved when he got rid of it and picked up the Dual Rectifier. Useless, but fun, piece of knowledge.
Effects
MXR Phase 90
Used mainly on Phone Went West and Run Thru.
There has to be more, but these are the ones where
it's blatant.
there are suresly more effects, but I have no idea what those would be. please help me out on this one.
