Jeff is using three main guitars with the Pumpkins -a Jackson King V, a Les Paul and a Fender Strat. One thing they all have in common is, of course, Seymour Duncan pickups. I had a chance to ask Jeff a few questions about the Pumpkins gig, and which Duncan pickups he was using – some in interesting applications – and why.

Jeff, on the other hand, used a variety of guitars, including Gibson SGs, Les Pauls and three Fender Jazzmasters, which saw a lot of whammy bar use. Delicious.

They call it the Alter Ego. I also have the Strymon El Capistan tape echo."
