Jesse Lacey's Gear
"That's actually a Stagg, I don't know anything about it I was looking for like a Jazzmaster style body for cheap that I could throw around on stage a little bit and our tech Joe put a Jaguar bridge pickup in it a few years ago, it actually sounds really good" - Jesse Lacey at 3:42.
It is used at nearly every concert, and can easily be seen in videos and pictures of live performances.
"This is a late '70s Tele that my friend John Nolan, who plays in Taking Back Sunday, I think we took it from one of his church worship leaders from when we were in high school and he let me borrow it a long time ago and I never gave it back to him so..." - Jesse Lacey at 1:14.
