Aaron North on the Hagtstrom f-200p white on a post made December 07, 2009...

"This was one of the smaller guitars with a P-90 style pickup that I used for songs where the tuning was down half a step, or even down half a step and then drop-tuned. This guitar saw a lot of action on songs such as "Closer", "Getting Smaller", and "Piggy". This particular guitar, is the exact same one I'm seen playing first on the "Beside You In Time" DVD in "Love Is Not Enough"."

"I used this model of Hagstrom guitars quite a bit with Nails. The couple of Black "Swede" models I had out on the road were designated as those for "Drop D" tuning. I used these on a ton of songs... "The Wretched", "Eraser", "Reptile", "Burn"... This particular guitar, is the specific one I'm playing in "Somewhat Damaged" on the "Beside You In Time" DVD, and even on there in the song "Beside You In Time". "

Aaron North about the Reverend Clubking 290 Goldtop on a post made December 07, 2009..

"This guitar is AWESOME. I got this one after a very memorable experience of having the opportunity to "hang out", and "talk shop" with none other than the late, great Ron Asheton of The Stooges... Somebody I've surely ripped off more than any other. There's an amazing tone knob on here that can make the guitar produce a massive, chunky humbucker type sound, or even a thinner, twangy Telecaster sound... And everything in between! Seeing as how I was a bit more precious with this guitar than a lot of the others, it wasn't brought out as much live. So I usually used this one on special occasions. For instance, when we were only recording. This way I knew it wouldn't end up getting snapped in half. I recall using this guitar when we recorded a bunch of Joy Division covers with Peter Murphy, and also when we did a BBC Radio 1 session in London. I've also used this guitar quite a bit recently with Jubilee... And recorded all of my guitar parts for "Rebel Hiss" for instance with it. "

Aaron in this photo is playing a Fender Jazzmaster, in which with an interview with The NIN Hotline claims is in drop D tuning.

"That's easy, only cos I remember finger-fucking the arrangement on that sucker forever. I know I play a Jazzmaster in drop D tuning, and make lotsa weird noises."
