Maybe it wasn't a Gibson acoustic, but I thought I saw an acoustic on Switchfootage II that was not a Taylor. He does have a dobro, and I'll assume it's a Gibson model.

EDIT: Apparently Dega is actually El Degas and they made guitars that resembled Gibson models. they are Japanese, and apparently, they were sued by Gibson for copywright infringement.
You sure about that SG? I was watching the AOL sessions videos they did a while back and i could clearly see the angus young devil decal on it. Also I'm pretty sure Dega is Italian, Drew told me.

Jon:
Gibson SG Custom Shop Standard
Gibson SG '61 Reissue
Gretsch BST1000 (crushed by lighting rig)
Fender Telecaster
Gibson New Century SG with the "Oh! Gravity" design on it
Taylor acoustic guitars
Martin Dreadnought acoustic guitar
Gibson Dobro/Resonator
Orange amps
Vox Amps
I don't know if he still plays it or not, but Jon used a Strat back in the LOC days.
Quote:
Jerome:
Gibson Les Paul standard
Korg keyboards (I think)
On Live in San Diego he uses a Gibson SG Custom Shop Standard
Orange amps
He also has a Fender Rhodes.
Quote:
Drew:
Les Paul Special (faded red)
Fender Telecaster
Fender Stratocaster
Gibson Les Paul
El Degas Gibson Les Paul Custom copy
65 amps
Mesa amps
Vox Amps
Bad Cat amps
Matchless amps
Add Marshall and TopHat to that as well. He doesn't endorse Marshall, but he as one. He also has a Les Paul DC Junior.
Quote:
Tim:
Lakland 4-94 and Decade basses
Gibson Thunderbird bass
Fender P Bass (not sure if he uses it, but I know he has one)
Gallien Krueger amps
Add Fender Mustang Bass and a Lakland Hollowbody. He may have ditched it at this point, but he was using Ampeg back in the pre-Columbia days.

For Jon's acoustics he uses a Lute Hole. I think he has a few of them.

To be more specific on some of the amps, Jerome uses an Orange AD30 head and a Marshall 4x12 cab (seen in the DYTM video). Jon uses a Vox AC30CC2 and a Vox AC series 2x12 cab. Also, in the Chem6A video, he's using some sort of Marshall combo, but I can't tell what it is.

I'm guessing given how old that song is, he probably doesn't use that particular amp anymore.

Assuming you were referring to the Marshall, I agree. But we have put up other intruments that he doesn't likely use anymore, like his Martin acoustic, his Strat, his Gretsch, etc.

Ah, he actually does use the Gretsch for at least "Gone" still. I saw them live on Saturday, and I noticed the Gretsch.

We must be thinking of two different Gretsch's. I thought his got crushed by the lighting rig?

Also, you were right. Jon's SG that we couldn't come to a conclusion on is a Custom Shop Standard. Check it out.

EDIT: never mind what I said about the Gretsch, I guess he got a new one?

Oh, and who could possibly forget the Les Paul Classic Jon used for NWTBH? I don't think he's used it live since the NWTBH Tour, but there's a picture of him playing it on the CD artwork.

He's played a Les Paul on the Live in San Diego DVD, but I thought there was a Les Paul on the list, but I'll put that on there.

I heard that the Gretsch just had neck damage done and that they were able to repair it.

EDIT: That's a different SG than he uses in the AOL Sessions shoot (the old one), the sessions one has a tremolo, not just a floating bridge.

I've only seen Jerome use Korgs before, in a few videos he's using the Korg M-3, he also likes to use the Korg Kaos Pads, although I'm not sure what model. Hope that helps some =D
