Curt Kirkwood's Gear
"My original Les Paul got stolen, so I got a ’72 goldtop, which I still have... Too High to Die is mostly my ’81 ’50s reissue Les Paul sunburst that I use on 90 percent of Rat Farm, too."
I used my ’65 Telecaster on almost all of Huevos.

This goldtop 1973 Les Paul Deluxe was his main guitar used in the Meat Puppets 1 and 2 era. Later, he modified it by putting a Dimarzio P90 sized Super Distortion in the neck, a Dimarzio X2N in the bridge and it also had replaced Schaller style tuners
This natural Gibson L6S Deluxe was also used in the Meat Puppets 2 era presumably as a backup to his ‘73 gold Les Paul Deluxe but not much is known about it
This modified Gibson Melody Maker was one of the earliest documented guitars used by Curt in the band, featuring two added humbuckers. It was also used to record tracks on Meat Puppets II
