[Thomann]: [laughing] "-Bruno!"
[Doug]: "-Yeah, you'll recognise this from the "For the Love of God" music video. This is the 7-String guitar Steve is using on this tour for "Zeus in Chains" and it's setup with 9-52 gauge strings tuned to Drop-A and this is a really great sounding guitar pretty much stock..."

Later at 9:50, Doug sets down the Whitesnake-era 7-String and states:
