Steve Hackett, guitars?

[rocknhard]

I love listening to his sound at times, his style of progressive rock is very interesting. Anyhone know what he used for gear?

 

Thanks.

I seem to recall him playing a Les Paul with a Floyd Rose tremolo.

I think during the Genesis days it was a late 60's Les Paul with mini humbuckers.

Mostly IIRC a Fernandes LP style with FR, also a 57 LP and there's a sustainer guitar involved too, and he's an E bow user

Which period of Hackett are you interested in? He's gone through quite a few guitars over the years. For example he's probably the only name user of the Ovation UK II electric guitar, playing one in the early '80s.

It's a 71 that Steve bought brand new right after joining the band that year.

(he also had a sunburst mini bucker LP around that same time.)

 

In addition to the guitars already mentioned he also played a LP Custom early on & has a sweet 57 Gold Top as well.
