Ween – All Request Live

“I can’t really even describe to you the moment I found that guitar,” he told Fender.com. “You are really lucky if you can find one or two in your entire life – even if you are somebody like me who has bought and sold literally hundreds of Strats. That guitar – I was leaving with that guitar. Whether it cost $50,000, it was going out the door with me. I knew that I had found the instrument that I had been looking for my entire life. It was really magical.”

Edit: If you look around online you'll find he actually uses the Lace Sensor pickups for neck and middle and the Seymour Duncan Hot Rails for the bridge, which is not what he says in the following quote.

"I actually am using Fender Lace Sensors in my neck and bridge position, and then I use the Seymour Duncan Hot Rails in the lead position on all of them. Fender built me an exact replica of my ‘61, exactly the same with the wear marks on the guitar and they put in the same pickups for me. It was awesome.

But the Seymour Duncan Hot Rails is the loudest pickup made known to man, and that’s why I like it. It just really, really, really cranks – it gives you a lot more overdrive then a regular stock Fender pickup.

As far as the Lace Sensors — they’re quiet. A Strat is a notorious buzzing guitar – makes that telltale buzz on stage. They are noisy pickups because they are single coil pickups and they pickup AM radio and God knows what else, but the Lace Sensors are dead quiet. It takes that vintage sound of a Strat and just improves upon it."

Gene Ween is seen using a 1968 Gibson Les Paul Standard - Gold Top as a backup guitar during a 2003 Quebec tour. In this video it’s specifically tuned to the 5th to play "The Argus," as shown in the YouTube video "Ween The Argus Live in Chicago" Additionally, at the end of "Roses Are Free," a stagehand hands him the Gold Top.

This amp was included in Aaron Freeman's gear in this Premier Guitar Interview (http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/21257-aaron-freeman-return-to-form?page=3).

Aaron Freeman, better known as Gene Ween, walked onstage sporting a megaphone as the band launched into “The Stallion, Part 1” 1991’s The Pod. Parental discretion was advised early on as “You Fucked Up” took the second spot of the show and got the rabid fans foaming at the mouth. After “Transdermal Celebration” and “I Gots A Weasel,” “The Golden Eel” got some extra love as the crowd ceremoniously chanted along. Next, the band set the crowd ablaze with their most MTV-approved track “Push th’ Little Daisies,” off of Pure Guava.
