Alan Sparhawk's Guitars
In this rendition of song "Nightingale", Sparhawk used Danelectro 5005 Convertible which had a different headstock than other Convertibles do.
According to Guitar Geek, Sparhawk has Fender Telecaster which is a 1962. reissue and has Gibson Humbucker. It is tuned to DGDGBD (Open G).
In this KEXP performance, throughout the whole show, Sparhawk can be seen playing this creamy coloured Gibson Les Paul Custom. This one also includes Bigsby.
This is his main guitar most of the time and he uses it a lot for shows.
At around 4:58 minute mark, Sparhawk is visible playing Epiphone Les Paul Baritone, which is rumoured to be paint sprayed in gold colour.
"Then I think my dad gave me an Aria Pro 2 ZZ Deluxe - a baby blue Explorer-shaped thing. Once I could buy my own, I traded it in for a stripped 1964 Mustang. Still have that."
"Alan – Black late 1980s Les Paul standard with Rio Grande P-90 pickups & a bigsby trem. I have a few Les Pauls & they’re all pretty exciting to play (most Les Pauls are not), but this one seems the most reliable & consistent. It’s a very heavy piece of wood & whoever had it before me played it a lot. I used to play telecasters with a humbucker & bigsby, but then I crossed over like DRI. In the studio, I’ll usually use several different guitars to get different textures, plus it kinda helps justify having more guitars than you really need. On tour, I’m usually doing it all with just the one."
"First guitar of my own was a Japanese copy of an SG bass. Still have it. Then I think my dad gave me an Aria Pro 2 ZZ Deluxe - a baby blue Explorer-shaped thing. Once I could buy my own, I traded it in for a stripped 1964 Mustang. Still have that."
