Guitars used by Jacob Collier on Djesse Vol. 2
Avg price: $2,226.29
His primary 6-string acoustic guitar for Djesse Vol. 1&2. Often tuned to DAEGAD. Time to Rest Your Weary Head, for example, was performed on this guitar, along with many other songs. The cedar top, the NEX body shape, and the ornamentations around the sound-hole and the headstock show that it has to be this guitar.

As seen on the image above. Replacing the Neumann WS87, this has been the windscreen on his main vocal microphone for most of Djesse Vol. 2, as well as all of Vol. 3 - it's unlikely he'll replace it soon. The W414X came in the box with his AKG C414 XLII, which he got around 2015 and still uses. It's one of the only rectangular grey windscreens available. Using a foam windscreen instead of a circular pop-filter is uncommon, as it doesn't prevent plosives from overloading the microphone nearly as much, and most of them attenuate the high-end. Collier typically places his microphone slightly to the right of his mouth, so plosives wouldn't be a big problem without the windscreen.
