In this performance of King Gizzard's song "Dragon", as well as other songs in C# or Drop B on the last tour, Cook has played a Serus J Baritone in the black finish, sporting the products standard Lollar Mini-Broilers. Cook has notably modified his to have a string-thru system as opposed to the mastery vibrator arm that usually comes on all Serus J models, as he generally has never used a whammy bar. This is also backed up by photos posted by Novo Guitars of Cook playing both his Serus J (or perhaps Serus h2, since it has humbuckers and a tele bridge) and his baritone model.
