Gem Archer Gear writes :

Gem has said that his fondest guitar shopping memory is when his now deceased, loving uncle took him to get his first Rickenbacker. This smaller model, made from 1962-1984, might very well take him back to those days. He plays the pentatonic-lick intro to "Wind Up Dream" with a capo up high on the neck, always in the bridge position. On multiple occasions, Gem has had to hold off on the opening riff to re-tune this fickle guitar.

This some sort of wine red Gibson SG Custom appeared in the music video for "Where Did It All Go Wrong?". This could actually be the only time this guitar has been seen with Archer. This guitar looks a lot like 1991 Gibson SG Custom '67 reissue, but there is not too many shots in music video to confirm that.

"I also use [...] a Paisley Telecaster, which I got back in 2001. It’s funny – Noel and I got Paisley Teles on the same day, without knowing it, and then turned up at the gig with them! They're brilliant guitars and Mexican-made, so they only cost us 500 quid."

Used for only one song, but brilliant tone anyway. This is a venture from his Oasis days of using a beautiful Taylor 12-string.

I've seen Gem using this live for a Noel Gallagher gig in Amsterdam. Looks like it's in a few pictures too. He also used a white Strat with Oasis to play 'She's Electric' on the Ten Years of Nouse and Confusion Tour.

This equipment choice is distinctly visible at the 0:18 timestamp in the official music video for "Open The Door, See What You Find" by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, providing clear visual evidence of his gear preference.

The image clearly shows a CKK Q Cat pedal positioned right beside the Cali76 on Gem Archer's pedalboard.
