Jack White's Gear
In this Instagram link: [https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck8MMuaLAiG/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet], Jack White is seen using the Fender Princeton Reverb amp as his practice/rehearsal amp.
"Jack White uses his signature guitar pick, as shown in this user-uploaded photo."
If you look closely in the photo, DBA Echo Master is seen in the mic stand. It is also verified by someone from the comment section of the reddit post.
Jack White says he always plays with thick picks in order to attack the string with force. He especially likes them to be black, but that’s no surprise. The ones in the photo are the Dunlop Jim Root Custom Nylon Picks, 1.38 mm thick.
Jack White has been using both the Fender Acoustasonic Jazzmaster and Tele on his most recent tour as seen in this photo from Guitar World. In this Guitar Player interview Jack White says... “There have been a lot of guitars over the years that have attempted to do both acoustic and electric sounds, but this is the first time I’ve heard a guitar that really does it well.” https://www.guitarplayer.com/gear/5-of-jack-whites-coolest-guitars
"Korg CX-3 Electric Keyboard with Metal Equipment Case "A nifty lil’ Korg keyboard that was used live onstage by the White Stripes and still has the badass red-and-white road case to prove it. Is the Korg what Meg used when she played keys on ‘In the Cold, Cold Night’? Surely someone here knows the answer. This one has also been used in subsequent touring configurations since the White Stripes, easily noted by the Raconteurs logo sticker on the case. Additionally, this keyboard is actually painted White Stripes ‘red’ and was taped over with black tape once brought into the Raconteurs fold. How badass is that? Used live, in Europe, for both the White Stripes AND the Raconteurs. You’re welcome. A slick sounding instrument in and of itself without any of the historic connection or provenance. You seriously cannot go wrong owning this thing. It will change your life and most likely for the better. NOTE: British 220v power! This will not plug right into your American wall outlet, lest you wanna blow up the neighborhood.""
In this June 6, 2019 Premier Guitar article, The Raconteurs The Power of Two, Jack White says: "This album, I actually had that gold Fort Knox Les Paul, and I had a new Fender Champ amp. I thought I’d try it. I’d never actually done that with the Les Paul through this tiny little amp. For that guitar solo, it was like, “Oh my god, it sounds so good!” I just thought, of course, this is why everybody does this. It’s hilarious that I’ve avoided this my whole life."
'The sidebar list of Jack White's gear describes it as a: "1980s Fender Champ."
"Jack White has been photographed playing a red and white Harmony H74 guitar during performances with The White Stripes, as seen in user-uploaded photos."
At 44:37 in the Premier Guitar Rig Rundown at Third Man Records, it is confirmed that Jack White uses a Klon Centaur Overdrive, which is notably painted black. The proof was provided by Premier Guitar's detailed video walkthrough of White's gear setup. He says:
This is actually a real Klon, but it's rehoused. Actually, our pal Josh from JHS was nice enough to help out and kind of had a lead on good enclosures and they kind of helped us silk screen it with like our our color on it and stuff. Yeah, man, he's great. He's such an enthusiastic, like exciting, passionate, like wealth of knowledge and always up for cool fun stuff. So that's nice. This is really new though, it hasn't been part of the equation for like a long long time. So that's fun to have around.
In the Premier Guitar Rig Rundown video featuring Jack White at Third Man Records, it is confirmed by Jack White himself that he uses the Donner Third Man Hardware Triple Threat as part of his pedalboard setup. This information is provided during the segment where Premier Guitar's John Bohlinger conducts a detailed tour of White's gear, supported by White's tech and collaborator, Dan Mancini.
In the Premier Guitar Rig Rundown video titled "Jack White Rig Rundown Guitar Gear Tour at Third Man Records Nashville," Jack White confirms that he incorporates two ISP Technologies DECI-MATE Micro Noise Reduction units into his pedalboard setup.

Fender Limited-edition Jack White Triplesonic Acoustasonic Telecaster - Blacktop Arctic White
Acoustic-Electric GuitarsIn this video from Fender, Jack White discusses his signature Triplesonic Acoustasonic guitar. He says:
All right, we come to this amazing axe here, the Triplesonic. This is kind of the baby of years of kind of road testing and working directly with Tim Shaw and making something new out of their incredible Acoustasonic that had come out a few years ago. I really liked it.
I wasn't a big modeling amp guy or modeling sounds guy or trying to come up with these half electric acoustic things in the past. That just never appealed to me. But the Acoustasonic Fishman and Fender put together, I think they really kind of cracked the code with that. It feels like an electric guitar when you want it to be electric and it feels acoustic when you want it to be acoustic.
This is sort of a simplified version of the Acoustasonic in a lot of ways. You know, the regular Acoustasonic is a five position. You got a lot of choices, a lot of cool different sounds. I road tested this with my band The Raconteurs and tours and I found that one sound, the dreadnought sound that I really loved, and I just talked to Tim Shaw about, 'Can we make it so when I switch it, it goes right to that acoustic sound?' I don't have to change the blend knob, don't have to worry about what choice I'm making.
So we switched it to a three-position switch: acoustic, electric, overdriven electric. Three sounds, Triple Sonic, if you will. And the blend knob is a master tone knob now, master volume, master tone, three-position switch. You go up and do a gig on Broadway and you can play, you know, 15 different songs and have different tones for each and you can switch from acoustic ballad right into a heavy electric guitar solo in the same song.
We got the three classic woods from Fender: the Alder body, Spruce top, Maple neck. I love the wooden bridge and knobs, the feel of that. The single coil spot here is in the same kind of classic Telecaster location and that just feels really rock and roll. When I pop it over to overdriven electric, it's just really got a nice bite to it.
This country western pickguard here got a little history with me, going back to my Gretsch Rancher. I had two of these, like to sort of look like Veronica Lake's hair and Rita Hayworth's hair. So we have a cool half version of that on here. We got the locking tuners, we got the black tuners, we got the white painted neck. We're just trying to create a tool for people to come up with their own sounds and gig with. This is a real gigging guitar.
In this Instagram post Jack White posts a photo with the Gibson Kirk Hammett Greeny Les Paul Standard. The caption reads:
Guitar slaying maestro Kirk Hammett of Metallica was kind enough to send me one of his new remakes of the famous "Greeny" guitar the original of which now resides with him. Owned by Peter Green, and Gary Moore, it is well known for its accidental out of phaseness from the neck pickup being upside down and wired "wrong" etc. You really can hear it up around the 15th fret in my opinion, that's where it sings. So of course I had to send Kirk a fresh new Triplecaster in the interest of reciprocity! Thanks again sir. #kirkhammett #greenieguitar #jackwhite #metallica
The Eventide Knife Drop pedal was developed in collaboration with Eventide and Third Man Hardware, involving Jack White in its creation. Jack White contributed to the design by incorporating six of his personal presets into the unit. This information is verified by Eventide Audio, as noted by Nalia Sanchez in the source titled "Knife Drop."
In this Instagram post, Jack White discusses and shows several photos of his "Ugly Stick", a custom creation by Chris Ellis. He says:
This over the top custom built axe is the invention of Mr. Chip Ellis who has built my Triplecasters and EVH's over the years. Chip has been working on this for 30 plus years on and off; It's called the "Ugly Stick" and is half bass, half guitar.
I have it tuned to open E on the low and open A on the high strings. But you could do what you want with it. The bass strings are recessed lower than the guitar strings so you can play them all at the same height/same time. I used a prototype of this axe on 2 songs on the NO NAME album (Number one with a bullet and Terminal arch enemy endling) and haven't been able to really perform them live yet, but now I can. Thank you so much Chip, this thing is out of this world I'm either wishing I had this back in the White Stripes or I am glad I didn't!!!"
Jack is now one of the users of this Josh Homme's signature model according to his post on Facebook.
In the release video for the JHS + Third Man Hardware TROIKA Delay, Jack White demonstrates its use as a part of his live guitar rig, on his vocals, and as a production tool for his 'No Name' Album.
Jack White utilizes the Dunlop Straplok Dual Design Strap Retainer System, as observed on the back of one of his Triplecasters during his 2024 Rig Rundown. This was documented by Premier Guitar on their YouTube channel in a video tour of Jack White's gear setup at Third Man Records in Nashville.
In a photograph, Jack White can be seen holding a blue pick that appears to be a Dunlop Tortex Standard 1.0mm Guitar Pick.
In an Instagram post, Jack White is clearly seen with the Electro-Harmonix by JHS Big Muff 2 on his pedalboard, positioned next to his Whammy and MXR Double Down Booster, as evidenced by the source image.
In the "Jack White Rig Rundown Guitar Gear Tour at Third Man Records Nashville" interview by Premier Guitar, Jack White's guitar tech, Dan Mancini, confirms at 36:20 that Jack White uses a Boss TU-3W Chromatic Tuner at the beginning of his signal chain. Mancini notes, "It's neat because it's Blue and Black which is our theme on tour," and highlights features such as a bypass and a buffer switch on the back.
In a screenshot from an Instagram reel by Jack White, the Lace Sensor Red-Red Dually Humbucker is clearly visible installed in the bridge of Jack White's EVH Wolfgang guitar.
