"'And before you came to Stevenson's amps, what did you run through?''Before that I was using a (Peavey) 5150 head, I think it was a '91. And I really liked those tones, too, like they were really clean. I'm a big fan of the bright guitar amps. I was using a 5150 through a Vox cabinet at the time and it was super bright but at the same time with the 5150 every time you turned the gain up it would just get a little too saturated for me. I couldn't find that clean and heavy balance whereas with the Stevenson I found that balance pretty easy,'" says Ian D'Sa, in this interview.

Theres nothing in this corresponding interview but but this image looks to me like a Fender Jaguar Special Edition it's definitely a Jaguar of some description but it has a maple neck which makes me a little a uncertain. However looking at all his other guitars they are all customized in some way. Mainly Strats but its hard to tell exactly which model.
