Daniel Lanois' Guitars
In this rig rundown, Daniel's Goldtop is mentioned:
"The ’53 Les Paul features a few modifications: a mini-humbucker from an old Gibson Firebird in the bridge, a Bigsby tailpiece, Tune-o-matic bridge, and some Gretsch knobs. Lanois doesn’t prefer a particular brand of string, just as long as they’re heavy. Currently, his gauges go from .011–.056 with a wound 3rd string."

In this interview with Sound on Sound describing his work on Peter Gabriel's So album, Lanois explains, "I played a lot of guitar, a green Fender Jazz Master which you don't see very often now. It doesn't have much sustain but it does have a good dense sound."
