Members keNz 1 Posted November 23, 2008 Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hey, I've been looking for this information online and the one site that would probably list it is offline. So far, I know that he uses the Trini Lopez (and of course his version of it), Gibby RD, the Firebird, and the Ampeg clear one. I'm mostly interested in Gibson guitars cuz I'm working on a project. Can anyone shed more light on the matter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Vairish 0 Posted November 23, 2008 Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 Here's a studio picture anyways: Theres an SG (left handed?), Possibly an ES175, 3 Firebird Studios, a LP Custom and a Dale Earnhardt Jr Les Paul (the Bud one). Edit: He used a black Explorer a lot when the for the self titled album Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And is that second one from the front a Gibby or a Heritage or something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can just about make out the split diamond on the headstock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members HeatherAnnePeel 2 Posted November 23, 2008 Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 Perhaps this thread should be "what guitars DOESN'T Dave use". Seriously, the man has a LOT of guitars. BTW, I am a fan of the Foos, for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members Alecto 3 Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 According to Guitar Player's holiday issue, as of 2005, Dave used 4 black Firebird Studios as his road guitars. His pedalboard features a Boss TU-2 tuner, DD-3 delay, MXR Phase 90, and a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power, plus a footswitch for his amps. He uses 2 Mesa-Boogie Road King heads and 4x12 cabs, Shure UHF wireless systems and Furman power conditioners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Wyatt 3 Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 There are some guitars I really didn't expect to see there, like the Dime guitars. Doesn't surprise me. The man is a massive metalhead. Probot was a dream project for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members mdw8394 0 Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 Not sure about previous tours, but on his latest he only used his sig Gibson DG 335. At least the show I went to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I thought he's said that he prefers this guitar to any others. Guess Gibson threw enough money at him to make him think otherwise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
