Neal Schon is confirmed to have used a 1977 Gibson Les Paul Pro Deluxe, serial number 06 115596, in black finish, as evidenced by its inclusion in a white flight case stenciled with "JOURNEY / NIGHTMARE INC / SAN FRANCISCO U.S.A." The guitar, signed by Schon in silver ink on the headstock and featuring a yellow Ferrari sticker on the back, was his go-to instrument and was modified to his specifications, including the installation of a Floyd Rose tremolo and locking nut, and active electronics with a battery compartment. Schon used this guitar on Journey's album "Escape" (1981), particularly on tracks such as "Don't Stop Believin'," "Stone in Love," and "Who's Crying Now," as well as during the Escape Tour, notably at the November 1981 Houston concert originally broadcast on MTV.
