In this interview from Guitar Player Magazine, Prince discusses some of his gear.

"What guitars are you playing on the Musicology tour?

I’m using a Gretsch 6120N New Nashville, a Hamer Monaco III, and a Taylor acoustic. I run the electrics though a Genz-Benz El Diablo amp with a Genz-Benz 2x12 cabinet, and my onstage effects consist of Line 6 DS-4 and DM-4 pedals, a Fulltone Fat Boost overdrive, an EBS BassIQ envelope filter, and a Dunlop Cry Baby 535."

This photo posted on the Stereophonics Facebook photo album shows Kelly Jones playing a Gretsch 6120-N New Nashville Semi-Hollow Body electric guitar. The Florentine cutaway distinguishes it well, as does the layout of the knobs, the floating bridge, and a V-cut B6 Bigsby.

Judging by where Kelly Jones is sitting, he is either at a studio space doing some recording with the guitar (meaning there is a slight chance the Gretsch is not his), backstage/rehearsals, or at a home somewhere.

The photo is from March 2011 and is captioned, "Tremolo vibes, riffs and slides. The Gretsch can do it all! RJ x"
