Eddie Vedder's Gear
In Pearl Jam's 1992 MTV Unplugged performance, Eddie Vedder is seen using a Shure SM58 microphone.
In this live version of "Wishlist" from a 2010 Pearl Jam performance, we see Vedder play the song's guitar solo using an eBow.
The first amp he used for the 1993 tour. He only used it for this tour.
Eddie Vedder uses the Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler during performances with Pearl Jam and his solo gigs, as evidenced by a user-uploaded photo on Equipboard.
This article from DeVine's website claims that "Eddie Vedder's DeVine Tenor ukulele was a thank you gift from band-mate Mike McCready."
On the Mya-Moe website, they show Eddie Vedder's ukuleles, including this Striped Myrtle Tenor Classic. The same ukulele can be seen in this article from Fretboard Journal.
This image shows Eddie Vedder's solo stage setup, featuring three Fender amplifiers: two '57 Custom Deluxe models and a '57 Custom Twin Amp, which he also uses with Pearl Jam. While it's uncertain if he uses the Fender '65 Reverb Unit and MXR Delay with Pearl Jam, the gear highlights his preference for classic Fender equipment.
Eddie Vedder uses the Boss RC-50 Loop Station during his solo performances, as shown in the user-uploaded photo on Equipboard.
The complete name of this instrument is Master Electric Sitar. Eddie play it in this video on Who You Are.
Note the 1? holes added to the guitar straps, which pay tribute to Vedder’s hero Pete Townshend. They also have a practical purpose: they give the straps a nice stretch when playing hard.

An excerpt from Pearl Jam's Touring Tech, George Webb in 1995 for Guitar World:
"Amp-wise, Eddie is using a vintage 4x10 Fender Super Reverb, but he may switch to a '72 100 watt Hiwatt. Eddie definitely has a Who/Pete Townshend fascination, hence the Telecaster/Hiwatt combination."
This was Eddie's main amp from 1992 until the Pearl Jam Summer tour in 1995. it's a 70s Fender Super Reverb, Silverface, with a Master Volume control.
I believe this was used in the studio for Ed's guitar parts on Vs., Vitalogy, and Merkin Ball, before he got his Hiwatt dr504 Custom 50 in 1995, which he used almost exclusively up until about 2005-6. (I see mention of a Hiwatt dr103 head, but I don't see any photos/videos showing him using one. All show him using a dr504.)
In this video of Bad Radio era, Eddie used a Roland Jc-120.

Eddie Vedder uses a Marshall 1960BHW guitar amplifier cabinet, identifiable in a user-uploaded photo from Pearljambrasil showing the cabinet without its Marshall logo.
Vedder had his acoustic instruments going through a few Avalon Ultra Five direct boxes
Here's a photo from the Paramount Theatre in 1994, where Eddie is using the Dimarzio Cliplock strap. I believe it's a 2" model, instead of the 3" model that is submitted. Apologies. I believe this was his main strap from 1992-1994. In 1995 he switched to a simpler nylon strap, without any quick release functions. He used that up until about 1997-1999.
*He did still use the Dimarzio Cliplock strap throughout Single Video Theory, which was 1997.
In the 2003 Concert Video Pearl Jam: At The Garden - Eddie Vedder can be seen using a Gibson SG Junior for the Some Songs - Corduroy - 10:21.
Eddie Vedder is confirmed to use the Fender Tone Master '59 Bassman 4 x 10-inch 45-watt Combo Amp, as evidenced by its visible presence behind him during the Pearl Jam concert on May 30th, 2024, at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, as documented in the YouTube video by Jakeflix titled "Pearl Jam 2024/05/30 Seattle - Night 2 - Full Concert - Multicam."

Acoustic-Electric GuitarsEddie Vedder uses the Fender Limited-edition Jack White Triplesonic Acoustasonic Telecaster - Blacktop Arctic White, as confirmed by an article in Guitar World by Phil Weller, which reports that Jack White gifted Vedder this signature guitar for a Pearl Jam performance.
In the photo, the guitar picks of Pearl Jam members are clearly visible, with names written on them. Eddie Vedder's pick is identified as a Dunlop Tortex Standard 0.60mm, which is orange.
In an Instagram post by Eddie Vedder, he is clearly seen playing a Gibson J-200 in the first slide. The post, dated October 24, 2023, features a photo by @jktang taken during a performance at Benaroya Hall.
