David Hidalgo recalls in this interview: "These days I take my goldtop Les Paul and the Nocaster on the road. I feel that Gibson and Fender got solidbody electric guitars right the first time around, and guitars haven’t gotten any better."

In this interview Hidalgo recalls: "While we were in Denver, it struck me that a more traditional, Phil Upchurch-type of solo might work, so I played a ’59 Les Paul through a Fender amp."

In the source interview David Hidalgo recalled: "erry Garcia became one of my favorites. I first met him in 1984, when he showed up at one of our gigs along with Carlos Santana. They took turns playing my spare ES-335. Afterwards, Jerry gave me a ’58 Stratocaster. I couldn’t believe it."

He's comping for Tom Waits at the Letterman show. From the minute https://youtu.be/rcA2_g04pMU?t=109 you can clearly see him. Frankly, I'm not sure if he just had to replicate Marc Ribot or what.

David Hidalgo recalls in this interview article: "We fly to a lot of gigs, so I play through backline gear. I usually use a Fender Deville or a Deluxe Reverb depending on room size."

David Hidalgo recalls in this interview: "Pigtronix Aria Disnortion, a Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone compressor, and an Ibanez Turbo Tube Screamer. I like the Turbo Tube Screamer because it has four gain settings. The Turbo setting adds a lot of low end and makes whatever you’re playing through sound like a 4x10 cabinet. I usually end up leaving one or the other distortion pedals on, and adjusting the volume on the guitar."
