In this interview, the interviewer mentions Paul Weller's Epiphone Casino: "When I think of the quintessential Paul Weller guitar, I can't help but picture your sunburst Epiphone Casino with the trapeze tailpiece.

Yeah, I tend to use that more live. In the studio, it’s been the Danelectro lately."

In this interview with Total Guitar, Paul Weller says he uses a 1968 Gibson SG:

"What other guitars do you use?

Well, there's my 1968 Gibson SG, and on the album I used a late 1960s Gibson Firebird. I also have a three-pickup white custom SG from 1971, I think. That has a really fantastic sound and I reckon its one of the best guitars I've ever played."

Rickenbacher 330 Paul Weller "Whaam!"

The Jam - Absolute Beginners (Studio B15' Live 25.10.1981) TheRightEarOfNash Published on Dec 23, 2012 The Jam perform "Absolute Beginners" for Radio 1's B15 in October 1981.

Few guitars have embodied 'swinging London' more than Mod-God Paul Weller's stunning "WHAAM!" pop-art guitar. Crafted using a beautiful Rickenbacker 330, the guitar was custom modified with a Gibson Humbucker in the neck position to create a far more versatile guitar for Weller to use in the studio and on stage.

Despite these custom modifications however, it is of course the amazing artwork inspired by pop-artist Roy Lichtenstein that will always allow this classic guitar to endure. Lichtenstein’s 1963 masterpiece, “WHAAM!” was based on a page from a 1962 comic book, this is a guitar-art icon.
