Jason Falkner

Pictured here with a Fender Jazzmaster.

"Falkner's lead workhorse is the same '73 Mustang he's had since he was 12, and his lone Les Paul concession is a '58 TV Special. Falkner played all of the instruments on Presents, including an early '60s Mustang bass - "a yellow model with red racing stripes."

In this photo, Falkner is seen playing the red Gibson Firebird V. This guitar was used during his time with Cheap Trick.

In this photo, which shows Falkner performing back in 2006, he is seen playing the classic Gibson SG Standard.

Mentioned in the October 1996 Guitar Player interview "Top Cat: Jason Falkner" by Mike Mettler.

"I had all of my guitars out, including my '36 Vega, an early-'60s Silvertone, an early-'60s Epiphone, a '63 Gibson short-scale acoustic, a '73 Mustang, a Harmony Airline, a Kustom and a '69 Guild 12-string acoustic. My friend looks them over and says to me, 'These aren't exactly the usual suspects!'"

Despite his pan-guitarism, Falkner harbors a deep aversion to Stratocasters. "The reason I hate them is the same reason I hate standard Les Pauls: I just don't like guitars that everybody else has. I've always liked guitars that are quirky and weird, because they make you play differently. That Strat tone is so identifiable. One of the guys in the Grays had a Strat, and I always gave him a hard time about it."
