This page is pretty much their official rig rundown.

In this photo, Jari is seen playing the JEM7V-WH with the pickguard and pickups replaced.

"The top unit is an Axe-Fx 2 that we’re using as a backup. The middle one is Jari’s Axe-Fx Standard and on the bottom is my Ultra."

In the youtube video, Jari can be seen reamping a section of "Storm" from the at this time unreleased Time II album. Jari has been known to use the Triaxis since his Ensiferum days.

On Solar Guitars official page, Jari is listed as a featured artist and this particular guitar is listed as part of his gear; he however, plays a modified version of this guitar as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSANH6DNY7s

Jari Mäenpää used this amp in studio on everything in Ensiferum, on Wintersun's debut album and both parts of "Time" album. Substituted by Dual Rectifier and later Axe-FX units live. Unknown if it was used on "The Forest Seasons". Recent videos on his Youtube channel suggest that he started to use it again.

In this concert from 2005, Jari can be seen using a Dual Rectifier as a live substitute for his rack Mesa amp. According to Teemu in the MetalSucks article (https://www.metalsucks.net/2013/07/30/rigged-wintersun/), they have been mostly phased out from lives after 2009, but still used in the studio, although no studio proofs exist for that.

In this photo, Jari shows his old green Jackson Dinky, which was used on everything up until he got the Ibanez endorsement deal circa 2006 and retired it. After the deal has expired, he decided to use it for stuff again. It can be seen in some videos on his Youtube channel now, retrofitted with an Evertune bridge.

In a photo posted by Jari Mäenpää on his Instagram account, his Tokai Telecaster can be seen in its full glory, although the model is hard to identify due to the headstock's poor visibility. This guitar was extensively used until he primarily retired it after securing a deal with Ibanez. He also noted that it was utilized for a few clean parts on both parts of the "Time" album in the comment section.
