"My most significant one is my 1966 Guild T-100 that I saved up for for a while. I love my new Jazzmaster and Jaguar, which Fender has been so kind to give to me. I recently modded an early Japanese Fender Strat with a Porter pickup and it's quickly become my favorite."
Under the "gear list" section found below his interview with Reverb, the Gibson Melody Maker is listed.

In an interview on reverb.com, Ian O'Neil of Deer Tick shared that while touring Europe with Titus Andronicus, his Fender Telecaster Thinline Electric Guitar was stolen. This incident led to the band's label head gifting him a '70s Howard Roberts Gibson Fusion, which he deeply cherishes.

"I tend to play mostly old gear. I’ve been using a mid-’70s Silverface Twin Reverb for nearly 10 years, and it has never failed me. I had it modified to break up quicker, which is crucial. It has cigarette burns on the top from putting them out at music festivals and looks to be falling apart. It's my most trusted companion on stage. I use pretty basic pedals. I don't see much use in using more than four or five. A delay, overdrive, added reverb and tuner are what I tour with always."
