Adam Jones was spotted playing the new potential Adam Jones Gibson Flying V.
Three Fillmore 50’s are seen on stage throughout the performance of Invincible. Easily recognizable at 1:20.
The Voodoo Lab Tremolo is seen in this photo right next to his BF-2, and it looks to be the older 4 knob version. It is believed he used this pedal for the tremolo parts on "Sober"
Since it was produced, Adam Jones has been seen using his signature Flying V live on many occasions, especially to play Invincible.
From Gibson website: "(...) This out-of-this-world limited-edition Flying V from Adam Jones is designed and built to reflect his preference for heavier guitars and features a non-weight relieved mahogany body, string-through ferrules, a Futura-style split headstock design, custom appointments, a truss rod cover with exclusive artwork overlaid, and a painstakingly-applied Reverse Antique Silverburst finish. It also comes with an adjustable leather strap developed by Adam himself. It is adorned with a Two-Headed Dog hand-cast and plated brooch developed by artist Alex Kuno. Aged by the artisans of the Murphy Lab, only 50 units will be hand-crafted by the expert luthiers and craftspeople of the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, as part of this extraordinary limited run."
You can clearly see the Lehle mono pedal in the instagrame photo that Lehle posted. You can also tell it's not the mono 90 version which has the input and output on the side. This one has the input and output on the front, and with the size and footprint pattern, it has to be the regular Lehle mono. It clearly looks like Adam's board too, so I highly doubt it's a spoof considering it's Lehle themselves that posted it.

In this photo taken at the June 15th concert in Florence, Italy, Adam Jones can be seen playing a Gibson Les Paul Custom in Reverse Silverburst finish, also equipped with a Bigsby tremolo system.

In this rare photo of Adam Jones playing with Tool in the early 1990s, he is playing a white 80s Gibson SG Special-1 single pickup guitar with a stock Schaller-455 bridge/tailpiece. Jones has stated that an SG was used for some studio use but it’s unknown if this is the SG he’s used. Also this single pickup version of the SG Special-1 is incredibly rare. (Also thank you to user ggarc76 for helping me and giving me more info 😊)
In an Instagram reel posted by Adam Jones (@adamjones_tv), a Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar is clearly visible in his hands.
