David Kennedy

David Kennedy's guitar is often confused with the Gibson Dave Grohl ES 335 because of the Diamond Cut f-holes derived from the Gibson Trini Lopez model. However, the Limited Custom Shop ES-335 Diamond Edition was built in 2006 and came in white, while the 1st Dave Grohl run was not announced until 2007, and came in Pelham Blue and Ebony and then released again in 2014 in Pelham Blue and Metallic Gold. Another design difference to take note of is the Custom white ES David Kennedy plays has the common Gibson headstock while the Dave Grohl model has the Firebird style six-a-side headstock.

In the live performance of "Saturday Love" by Angels & Airwaves, David Kennedy is seen playing a Gibson Tom DeLonge Signature ES-333 in Brown & Cream. Notably, the guitar is identifiable by its single bridge pickup and dual f-holes.

In the live performance of "BoxCar Racer - There Is" on Kilborn, David Kennedy plays a Taylor 814ce, as seen in the video by YouTube user asdrians.

As David's rig emulates Tom's rig, he also uses a Boss DD7 for delay, as shown in the documentary The Pursuit of a Tone by Ernie Ball

You can see The synth at 1:45. If you slow the video down you can easily read it. David plays it at 2:23.

In the YouTube video "Box Car Racer Live Peoria 28.09.02" by Diego Vargas, David Kennedy is seen playing a Gibson Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar during the performance.

At 1:05 mark you can see a Fender in the background behind David, Tom's one is in the other side of the room, so thats David amp. David's rig in Angels and Airwaves emulates that of Tom's. He uses a Fender '65 Twin Reverb for the cleans and a Vox AC30 for the distortion, as of Tom's
