For Fallon, a Mesa Boogie Stiletto, Royal Atlantic, and a Lone Star Special. For my own thing, I like Divided By 13.
Yes. That’s the guitar on that song. I also used it on “Uma.” That guitar has a very distinctive sound. I’m playing the rhythm part through a Divided By 13 RSA 23 amp, and I just love the way they interact together.
