In the video for the song "Never Understand", douglas can be seen using what appears to be a Rickenbacker 4001, however the acutal rickenbacker writing has been taped over imlying that this could be a fake or he just did not want to be assosiated with the brand due to the bands punk style.

From an Article on ENMOREAUDIO.COM explaining how the Jesus and Mary Chain got the sound of the album "PsychoCandy" -
"Despite Jim and Will’s guitar playing being far from virtuosic, their raw and untutored fretwork represents some of the most definitive guitar work of the 1980s. The pair most likely performed their material using semi-acoustic Gretsch models that they were fond of. These hollow-bodied guitars’ are well-suited for generating feedback, especially when paired with the groups’ favoured Fender Twin Reverb amps and (allegedly broken) ‘70s Shin-Ei Fuzz Wah pedal. “[The pedals] did most of the work themselves,” Reid stated in typical blasé fashion to Rolling Stone last year. “You just plugged them in, and they started screeching like you wouldn’t believe. That was the sound.” "
Very cool huh?
