Geddy Lee's use of the AMS Neve 1081 Mic Preamp & Equalizer is confirmed through the recording techniques described in Eric Hansen's article, "The Recording Techniques Behind Snakes & Arrows," published in EQ, September 2007. It is noted that engineer Richard Chycki recorded each direct line through a Neve 1081 preamp as part of the signal chain, which also included a Tech 21 SansAmp DI, a Palmer Speaker Simulator, and a Martech MSS-01 Bass DI, along with Universal Audio LA-2 compressors.

Photos taken by Dan Miller during sessions of The World Is To Dig show usage of the guitar

In a 2004 performance of "Experimental Film" on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, Dan Miller can be seen using a Burns Drifter guitar, as documented in a video uploaded by 90sBandsOnTV on YouTube.

D. Boon appears to have bought this 1981 - 1983 Fender Telecaster Black and Gold Collector's Edition model in 1983, and it might be what they recorded much of Double Nickels on the Dime with although that's speculation, it's not confirmed.

It's said that D. Boon changed the bridge pickup in his Telecaster or Telecasters, but it's not clear when this happened or if he changed the pickups in both the Black Tele and his Brown Tele Deluxe (I have no good photos of Black from 1985 right now to confirm if he used the EMG then, although there is an EMG in the Brown Tele.)

This specific type of Telecaster Guitar has a special larger tailpiece with extra sustain compared to a regular Telecaster Tailpiece, which might be a subtle and often overlooked detail about D. Boon's Gear Tone.

Fender don't seem to have reissued the tailpiece since its original manufacturing run. It seems as though there are at least 3 versions of the tailpiece; first, the one that appeared n this guitar. Second, a Brass version that was sold under the then available "Fender Brassworks" line. Third, there was a chrome plated version which is seen on D. Boon's modified Telecaster Deluxe (or Telecaster Custom.)

This Black Telecaster Collector's Edition Guitar is seen at the top of the page at this article at PremierGuitar, in the shot that's supposed to be from Mid-February 1984: https://www.premierguitar.com/artists/forgotten-heroes-d-boon
