Kid Rock's Gear
Kid Rock is frequently seen using a Fender Stratocaster, as evidenced by his performance in the video "Kid Rock & Jamey Johnson - Only God Knows Why," where he plays a sunburst model. Additionally, he is pictured with a Stratocaster on the album cover for "Early Morning Stoned Pimp."
This is his most popular guitar used from 1994-2006, he still uses it on occasion
at the part where he sings "Detroit loves to Party" you can recognize that its a Fender Telecaster
Kid Rock is seen using a Gibson Flying V during live performances, such as at the Kaaboo Texas event in May 2019. While performing "3 Sheets to the Wind (My Name is Rock)," he showcases his versatility on multiple instruments, including the guitar, turntables, piano, and drums. He occasionally alternates between a Fender Stratocaster and the Gibson Flying V for these performances.
theres a pic of him with a Harmony F-70 Buck Owens "American" Acoustic Guitar in that article
this pic shows him playing a Gibson J-200 Acoustic Guitar circa 2008
you can see him using a Gibson Hummingbird in this performance circa 2010
you can see his Gibson Korina Flying V Electric Guitar at 1:33 and 4:05
since 2000 Kid Rock's lead guitarist Jason Krause used the Orange Amplifiers

In this video for "Only God Knows Why", Kid Rock is seen playing an Epiphone Dobro Hound Dog Resonator.
this photo shows a Gibson ES-175
he has used the 808 from 1989-2002
"Though he's happy to kick out the jams with just his raps and his decks, Kid Rock has himself a big-ass rock 'n' roll combo and he knows how to use it. On tracks like "I Got One For Ya" or the title cut, Twisted Brown Trucker burn down the joint while the Kid fiddles with his 808."
Kid Rock uses Ernie Ball Titanium Coated RPS Regular Slinky strings (10-46), as indicated in the product details on Amazon.
According to this article Kid Rock has been using the Magnatone Super 59 MK II Combo since 2017.
In a user-uploaded photo from around 2003, Kid Rock is seen playing a 1964 Silvertone 1448. This identification is based on a detailed comparison with the same model frequently used by Beck.
AL SUTTON (White Room co-founder, engineer): We were the grunge, hard-rock studio. Bands came in with amplifiers, guitars and drums. And in walks this guy with a sampler and MPC60.
He started hanging out in the studio. We needed somebody with his skills in our camp. He could program and loop, and we needed to be a little more current in that way. We had a B-room that he basically took over, coming in midday and staying 'til 5 in the morning.
in this photo you can see near his Rolls Royce a Lasonic TRC-975
(note: DJ Bobby Shazam and Kid Rock are the same person, Bobby Shazam is like a character he plays)
around 1:38 you can see him holding a Gibson J-45
at 1:55 you can see Kid Rock with a Gretsch 6120
at 0:09 you can see his custom Vaccaro

in this photo you can see Kid Rock with a Dobro Hound Dog Roundneck
In this photo from 2006 you can see him with a Fender Champ Lap Steel, I found a youtube video of him playing it in 2002 on the Cocky Tour but the quality is horrible because the guy filming it was in the nosebleeds and zooming in looks horrible.
"Drum track produced with the EMU SP-1200 Drum machine."
Throughout the entire video you can see Kid Rock with a Gibson RB Banjo.
In this screenshot from an Instagram Live (presumably in 2019) you can see a Numark ns7 on a table near him playing a guitar "dobro style" with a 9 millimeter.
In a quote featured on Flickr by b_grrrlie, Kid Rock mentions using Synsonics Drums along with a Casio RZ1, noting the compact sampler's ability to capture elements like an 808 snare.
I had those little Synsonic Drums, a little Casio RZ1 with a sampler in it so small I could get like half an 808, or maybe an 808 snare.
The weirdest thing I used was the 303 Bassline I bought in junior high for $100 just because it looked cool.
