Brian Aubert
Brian Aubert's Guitars
Brian is seen using an 1994 Epiphone Sheraton II guitar in many Silversun Pickups performances.
From a May 2010 article originally seen on the Silverun Pickups official website:
No matter how hard he tries, Brian Aubert can’t get away from his ’94 Epiphone Sheraton. “It’s the guitar I’ve always tried to break away from, and I always end up going back,” he says. “It just feels right.” For the last eight years, the guitar has helped Aubert deliver Silversun Pickups’ fuzzed-out, evocative guitar textures.

The LP’s producer, Butch Vig, was key to foregrounding Aubert’s acoustic playing – which spanned a 90s Gibson J-45, a mahogany Taylor, a 50s Martin and a Nashville-tuned Goodall in the studio – as a core component of its character, even after the music had progressed to a full-band setting.
In this music video, Aubert is seen using a Fender Jazzmaster. Please note that it could be a prop for the filming, or it could be the actual guitar used on the track, seeing as it is a bit of a joke song made with Butch Vig. Generally, Aubert uses Gibson semi hollows, Firebirds and an SG, so this seems like a one off exploration, or again, just a prop.
In the tweet, Aubert is shown with a Starcaster on stage, the guitar itself being a gift from Fender (possibly the Custom Shop) delivered in February 2023, but not used live until May. Could possibly be a replacement for his longtime love, the Epiphone Sheraton, or could just be a new sound.
