Jeff Tweedy

His infamous guitar, mentions it in Guitar World interview.

"TWEEDY: I have a 1965 SG, which is pretty much my main guitar. I also used an Epiphone Wilshire, the mini-humbucker model, a little bit. Those were my two main electrics, but I have so many guitars. I've been buying them forever. I did a few overdubs here and there with a Rickenbacker 330, and also some with a Tele. But for the most part, almost everything is on the SG."

He uses this pedal, according to Guitar World's interview.

"For the acoustic parts I primarily played a Fifties Gibson J -200. I actually have two of them that are almost identical -- both have double pickguards and a name on the top pickguard. One says "Bob" and one says "Buck." And I bought them years apart, so it's kind of strange! And then for amps, I almost always use tiny little Supros or Valcos in the studio. I keep them fairly clean but right on the edge, where they're about to break up. I've been on a Valco kick for a while now. I have a bunch of them, but I don't know the model numbers of any of them. I'm kind of a gear whore, but I'm not a very attention-to-detail gear whore. [laughs]"

"Then, sure enough, he grabs the J-185, inspects the repairs, fingerpicks a Fahey-style tune (quite well, I should add) and, almost on cue, says, “I like it, but I won’t like it completely until these strings are completely dead. I hate new strings.” - Jason Verlinde, Fretboard Journal.

“There’s no real focus to my collection, other than things that make me happy and things that feel inspiring to me,” he says. “And, I guess, in some cases, it’s stuff where I have some sort of hero emulation; I just have to have a guitar because I saw so-and-so play it. I have a thing for Dylan guitars--a (Gibson) Nick Lucas would have been one I bought for that reason, and the Martin 00-21NY I think I bought for that same reason.” - Jeff Tweedy.

“I was like, ‘Whoa, I wouldn’t have put stickers on my guitar, but OK.’” The stickers have endured, and the J-45 guitar has even graced the cover of No Depression magazine. Nearby, past the autographed photos of Bob Newhart and Don Rickles, there’s yet another Hopf, this one an Art Deco-inspired archtop. Tweedy points to a picture high up on the far wall featuring Elvis, in the Army, toting pretty much the same model Hopf. “It’s on ‘How to Fight Loneliness’ and ‘In a Future Age,’” Tweedy says. “It’s a really good guitar to bow because the neck radius has a little bit of an arch to it--you can hit individual strings with the bow." - Jason Verlinde, Fretboard Journal.

"Tweedy has a clutch of SGs: vintage axes from ’62 and ’65 as well as a 2007 Custom Shop model and a 2008 Custom Shop Vintage Original Spec (V.O.S.)." - Ted Drozdowski, Gibson.

"His other acoustic guitars are a pair of Breedloves, a Martin 00-21 from the 1930s, and a 1972 Martin D-12. Plus he’s got three Telecasters and a prized 1965 Jazzmaster." - Ted Drozdowski, Gibson.

"I’ve always felt like this is a really romantic looking instrument and kind of uncharacteristic of any other Martin guitars." - Jeff Tweedy at 4:20.

Fano Guitars shared Premier Builders Guild's photo where they caption this guitar with "Wilco lead singer and guitarist Jeff Tweedy and his Bull Black Fano Alt de Facto JM6. Swamp ash body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, gold plexi guard, TV Jones Magna'Trons, Bigsby".

In this photo, we can see Tweedy playing Epiphone Casino 12 String.

"I have it. I have a Gibson Barney Kessel guitar. It has two cutaways that look like devil horns, but it's this huge hollow-body from the Sixties. My wife bought it for me for Christmas. It's cool."

“Jeff Tweedy’s acoustic pedal board just consists of an Electro Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb, a volume pedal, and the ubiquitous Boss TU-2 tuner.” - Austin City Limits.

This image comes from an article from Austin City Limits where they outline some of Jeff's gear. You can see a Radial Switchbone on top of his Vox AC30.

"For vocals Stan puts Jeff Tweedy and John Stirratt through a dual channel Summit Audio tube compressor… usually. At the time of the taping, one channel was acting up and John’s vocal was put through a dbx compressor at the bottom of the rack. See, jujitsu. Acoustic guitars, piano, and keys are processed through BSS DPR-402 and 404 compressors; drums, bass, and effects are sent to dbx 1066 gate/comps," states this post on ACL's website.
