In this photo from 03/20/2024 at Yoshi’s in Oakland, CA, you can see Martin Barre playing a PRS Robben Ford Limited Edition McCarty which is distinguishable by its controls which are master volume and master tone in a Les Paul Jr pattern. A mini toggle is below the master tone for coil splitting and a 3 way toggle switch for pickup selection is below the wrap tail bridge.
Martin used this guitar for all electric guitar except one song where he switched to a Fender Stratrocaster.
Martin also appeared to use a stand mounted PRS Acoustic/Electric for his acoustic work.
Martin also appeared to be using his Soldano Decatone heads mounted in a road case running into a Barefaced single 12” cab.
