Charlie Simpson

"'My go-to acoustic guitar is the best acoustic guitar I’ve ever played in my life and I think, from what Gibson tell me, it’s the only one in the country.' Charlie’s talking about his black Gibson Elvis Presley Dove. 'I just can’t even explain to you how good this guitar is. It’s actually mind-blowing. I have an endorsement with Paul Reed Smith for my electrics and when I was in the studio recording Young Pilgrim, they hadn’t released their acoustic models so I decided to use Gibson acoustics because I absolutely love them. Gibson sent me a load of acoustics to go into the studio with and in that batch was this Elvis Dove and I couldn’t comprehend how good it was and I pretty much played it across the whole record.'"

A PRS CE 22 in Silver. Charlie said he bought this when Busted signed their first deal when he was 16, it now has EMG pickups

In this photo, Charlie can be seen performing with a Custom 22 by Paul Reed Smith. The pickups have been replaced with EMG humbuckers, most likely either the EMG 81+85, or 81X+85X combo.

In this Instagram photo from Charlie Simpson's Instagram, he can be seen posing with an seven-string telecaster by ESP guitars. According to the text, he is using this guitar for the album, "Behind the Devil's Back".

Charlie uses this guitar regularly at live shows and it has been pictured on Fightstar's official instagram page recently with photos of the album recording process for the 2015 release; "Behind the Devil's Back".

You can see him playing it at the start of the video. I know its not a regular tele as it only has one volume not a full control plate

"It's a beautiful thing! #7Strings #ESP"
