Blake Schwarzenbach

In this photo, Blake appears to be using left-handed Gibson Les Paul Standard in Ebony finish, with white pickguard. The pickup in neck position is what appears to be Bill Lawrence L-500 (or L-500XL), and the pickup in bridge position is stock.

This left-handed silver Ibanez RG560 was used by Blake Schwarzenbach at the very beginning of his career with Jawbreaker - i.e. circa March 1989 - to the recording of their debut album "Unfun", their first tour in support of "Unfun" - "Fuck '90 Tour" and eventually to their brief breakup. The most distinctive feature of it were stickers plastered all over the body. Most of the parts (if not all) have remained stocks. It is not known what has exactly happened to this guitar after Blake switched to Gibson.

Blake used this borrowed left-handed Fender Stratocaster in Sunburst finish with black pickguard for a very limited amount of time on European leg of Hell Is On The Way tour in 1992. It appears to have a CBS-shaped headstock.

"...because I broke my guitar in Oslo, in Norway, a few days ago, in half! So this is a kinda new guitar," Blake reflects on this incident at 12:56 mark in the video.

Blake has been using this amp from 1995 to present day, both touring and recording with Jawbreaker, Jets to Brazil, Thorns of Life and, most recently, Forgetters.

Schwarzenbach used this amp with Jawbreaker from about 1990 to 1995, right after the recording of "Dear You", then switching to Plexis. The amp has "BLAKE" written in white on upper right corner of grill cloth. Blake bought it from Ian Mackaye of Fugazi fame and then sold it to Kristopher Roe of The Ataris, who eventually has auctioned it off Ebay.

Blake got this guitar in 91, before the recording of Bivouac and it was used during its recording and then later on the tour of it, used up until the recording of 24 Hour Revenge Therapy

Blake Schwarzenbach used the Boss DS-1 Distortion pedal during the late 1980s, continuing through the recording of "Bivouac." This is evidenced by the user-uploaded photo.

Blake Schwarzenbach used the Ernie Ball Polypro Guitar Strap in multiple colors with all of his guitars during the 1990s while performing with Jawbreaker. This is evidenced by footage from a 1994 live set, available on YouTube, posted by the user "steve," which shows Schwarzenbach utilizing the strap.
