Noize MC на концертах использовал гитары Gibson SG Special, Gibson Explorer, но в связи с проблемами со спиной, вызванными неудачным прыжком со сцены в Магадане в конце 2011 года, он стал играть на гитаре Yamaha SLG130NW. Сам музыкант прокомментировал это так[70]: «Видимо, это мой новый концертный инструмент, потому что я классический гитарист и привык играть ногтями на нейлоне… Я вдруг открыл, что все мои классические умения не пропали и теперь их можно очень просто использовать во всей своей музыке».
