Guitars used by Quorthon on Katalog
The Equipment: This was really hard to find out but here’s what I got: Quorthon primarily played Ibanez Destroyer I guitars, as well as Gibson Flying Vs or Gibson Les Pauls. Most of his guitars were equipped with DiMarzio Super Distortion pickups, which would result in a very classic metal tone. In terms of amps, I’ve read he uses Marshalls Yamaha and Orange but no specific models are listed.
Quote from https://gearspotting.com/musiciangear/32/: "My old Ibanez Destroyer I is almost impossible to use these days. It has otherwise been on every BATHORY album since 1984 but it has also been heavily abused by yours truthfully..."
I believe Quorthon was mistaken, the Destroyer I was an almost exact copy of the Gibson Explorer. His guitar was actually a Destroyer II manufactured from 1981, it was originally fire red before he painted it black.
