Alex Turner is seen playing his Epiphone Coronet pictured during this live performance on The Late Show. Turner debut this new guitar during recording and live performances for songs off of Arctic Monkeys 7th LP “The Car” and can be heard on songs such as Body Paint and Mr.Schwartz.
The Coronet features many attributes Turner seems geared toward in his guitars such as a lone bridge pickup, reminiscent of his old Fender Bronco and pickups similar to his often used Jazzmaster. The guitar was first seen being used by Turner during their live show in Brooklyn, New York City, at Kings Theatre.
The Epiphone Coronet was first introduced in 1958 and was one of their most popular and successful guitars during that era. That being said, it can be concluded that Alex’s model is a vintage model rather than a reissue, due to the headstocks being different than the modern version. Mostly all of Turners amplifiers are vintage and quite a few of his guitars and other gear are too.
Jamie Cook

Guitars used by Jamie Cook on Body Paint
Gibson Firebird Electric Guitar
Avg price: $1,800.00
Jamie Cook can be seen playing a Gibson Firebird during the music video for Arctic Monkeys single “Body Paint” off of their 7th Studio LP The Car. This is the first time Jamie has been seen playing this guitar, though not used live for the song, it fits in well with the type of guitars he typically uses as he favors Gibsons the most.
It can’t be determined if this is a modern reissue of the Firebird or if it is a vintage model. Jamie uses more modern gear than Alex Turner and Nick O’Malley, leading it it being more likely a modern model of the Gibson. The Firebird features three Humbuckers leading to more tonality than other Gibsons, the guitar could have been used to record the track.
