Gary Louris

Gary Louris of The Jayhawks is seen playing a Gibson SG Original, equipped with a vibrola and full pickguard, in the band's 1991 performance of "Waiting for the Sun" on Letterman. This guitar has been a staple in many of their live appearances and music videos, contributing to Louris' distinctive rock sound. Notably, the "witch-hat" bridge pickup volume knob appears to have been broken since at least 2009, as depicted in a Wikipedia illustration of The Jayhawks.

Used for "some tracks" XOXO, as stated by engineer Nick Tveitbakk in this October 28, 2020 Mix Online interview.

On some tracks, Louris played what KJ says is “the most heaviest Telecaster; it’s like a boat, but it sounds great and Gary loves it. He used that most often through a ’65 reissue Twin Reverb from the late ’90s. We also had an early Vox AC30 and a really cool Selmer Zodiac Twin. He also did some fun stuff where we put a Super Reverb in the large room and played some loud feedback with every knob on 10.

“Each amp had its own recording chain,” KJ continues. “The AC30 might go to a Black AKG 414EB. We have an SSL AWS 900, which I used as a channel for that, and on the Twin we used a Sennheiser 409, and that would have gone through either a Neve 3104 channel or one of the Calrec 1061s that we have—they’re laser-beam focused.”

Gary Louris of The Jayhawks is shown using a Gibson J-45 in a user-uploaded photo on Wordpress. This iconic acoustic guitar is known for contributing to the band's electric/acoustic sound and is also played by fellow band member Mark Olson and other touring guitarists.

In this photo, Louris is seen performing with the Gibson Hummingbird Pro.

Gary Louris can be often seen during live performances with a Flying V korina giutar, but when you look on the headstock with care, it's not Gibson but Hamer you can read.
