Jeff Tweedy

Shown on this picture from Jeff's official EQD artist page. "My current favorite is the old spring-y sound of the Ghost Echo."

Jeff Tweedy owns an Epiphone Jack Casady Signature Bass, as listed in the Wilco Loft Sale on Reverb. This modern bass features new flatwound strings and is noted for its punch and power. While the frequency switch requires some adjustment, the instrument is in excellent condition with minimal wear.

Up for sale is this Tone King's 12 watts, 1x10 Falcon tube amp combo owned by Jeff Tweedy. It's been used a bunch in the studio at the Loft, mostly to put a little hair on a Wurly or Farfisa. It's a solid good sounding tube amp with some easy to get overdrive with its three preset positions and power attenuator. It's in very good condition and I don't believe has ever been out of the smokeless studio.

"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.

Jeff Tweedy is listed as an artist who uses the Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail delay pedal, as noted on the Seymour Duncan website.

The image from the pedalboard dates back to 2004 Toronto concerts, and original poster of pedalboard photos can be found here. Also, photos of the concert that this pedalboard photo is from can be found here.. In this photo, the Prunes and Custard pedal can be seen.

Jeff Tweedy owns a Fender Clarence White Telecaster Bender, as detailed in a listing on reverb.com. This guitar is a meticulous recreation of the iconic instrument, featuring a Fender Road Worn body, Axetreme Creations neck, and Forrest Parsons White long throw b-bender. It also includes Bill Keith banjo d-tuners and Owen Duff pickups, capturing the essence of Clarence White's original guitar. The attention to detail extends to the Glendale bridge plate and the Satellite logo sticker, making it a standout piece in Tweedy's collection.

"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," reads this post by ACL TV.

Jeff Tweedy is listed as an artist who plays the Seymour Duncan 805 Overdrive, according to the Seymour Duncan website.

Jeff Tweedy owns a 60s tube WEM Watkins Copicat tape echo, as listed on Reverb's Wilco Loft Shop. This vintage effects processor, known for its unique sound, features modifications like a 3-prong grounded AC plug and a Switchcraft output jack. Despite its quirks, including occasional ground noise and a broken tape loop, it remains a cherished piece of studio gear.

CLEAN AND NEW! This is Jeff Tweedy's Rickenbacker that he's only played in the studio. ... so it is practically UNTOUCHED. Like new! It still has it's tags in its original black Rickenbacker fitted case. I don't see any ware at all. Not much else to say. If you know what this is, you're already drooling.

Jeff Tweedy owns a Harmony F-70 Buck Owens "American" Acoustic Guitar, as listed in the Wilco Loft Sale on Reverb. The guitar's provenance includes a story that it was originally a gift from Buck Owens, supported by similar guitars associated with Buck's son, Buddy Alan.

It’s mostly that top-loader ’58 Esquire straight into a silverface Fender Princeton Reverb. It’s not a drip-edge model, but I don’t know the specific year. I used an AEA N22 ribbon mic, for the most part. I know that amp really well, and where it drives in a way that’s pleasant to my ear, and I’ll sit on the couch and play and hear it through the studio monitors. For certain songs, I’ll adjust settings on the amp to get what I want out of it. It really is super straightforward.

"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.

On this site, there is a photo of Tweedy performing with Uncle Tupelo, playing a Fender Precision Bass.

Crafted with a sleek all-metal chassis, four-knob interface layout consisting of depth, rate, blend, and decay, and a three-mode switch each with a uniquely modulated reverb style, the Keeley Vibe-O-Verb Ambient Reverb summons sounds never before dreamt on a pedalboard. From the vintage tremolo-tinged verb of the Harmonic mode to the chorus-y spaced-out feel of the Vibrato to the morphing, modulated Phaser mode, this pedal's bread and butter is the fringe reverb only hinted at by other pedals. The Vibe-O-Verb is a welcome companion when navigating experimental soundscapes and crafting a world of ambience all your own. This is a double here at the Loft so off it goes in our Spring cleaning!

Bill Nash is the largest independent builder of aged electric guitars and bass guitars. Nash Guitars recreate the look and feel of vintage guitars with updates that appeal to the modern player. All Nash electric guitars are a unique work of art handcrafted by Bill Nash right here in the USA. This T-63 Telecaster has "cowboy" engraved hardware and pickguard (yes, look close!) and great looking relic-ed gold finish, rosewood fretboard.... This was signed by Bill himself on the back of the headstock. Jeff Tweedy has a a few of these great guitars.... some twelve string teles (a particular red one coveted by Johnny Marr in The Sun Came Out/7 Worlds Collide movie.). They all look, sounds, and play great!

While producing Low's highly regarded "The Invisible Way" record at The Loft in 2012, Jeff Tweedy fell head over heels for the deep, dark sound of Alan Sparhawk's baritone Les Paul. Since Alan wouldn't just leave the guitar in Chicago when the record was done (oh, phooey), it was quickly decided that Tweedy needed his own for The Loft.

Why have one when you can have two? That was the very sound reasoning behind Gibson's release of the EB-3 as a two-pickup upgrade to the EB-0, and now you can get your hands on Jeff Tweedy's. This specimen sports a beautifully preserved mahogany body and neck and rosewood fretboard with plenty of life left in it. Non-original bridge but all other hardware and electronics are in perfect working order, including the four-way selector.

What we have here is a mighty-fine spin on Jeff Beck's vintage (and "heavily patina'd") '54 Fender Esquire, this one built on the Telecaster Deluxe platform and owned by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. This guitar has a nice'n'slim C-shape neck, a Mastery Bridge with electroplated brass saddles, and a really beautiful relic job that tips its hat to the wear on Mr. Beck's iconic axe. The neck position humbucker (which is almost always welcome in our world) is warm and full, bluesy as can be and with lots of output. The bridge pickup is typical Tele -- bright and clear. This guitar was definitely played a bunch. Some frets are a touch worn down, but this guitar is still plenty playable as is. Ships in a padded gig bag with a certificate of authenticity signed by Jeff Tweedy.

Jeff Tweedy owns a 1963 Jolana Tornado, a semi-hollowbody electric guitar, as listed on Reverb's Wilco Loft Sale. This guitar, manufactured in Czechoslovakia, was Jolana's first venture into creating a model inspired by the Gibson ES-335. Known for its versatility and popularity among musicians in Soviet-era communist countries, the Tornado features original parts, a C-shaped neck, and a distinctive Trapeze-style bridge. The instrument showcases significant road wear, adding to its unique character.

Jeff Tweedy owns a reissue of the Danelectro Longhorn Bass, as noted in the Wilco Loft Shop listing on Reverb. This Korean-made bass was considered for its potential to enhance the studio's collection of unique instruments. Although it didn't add anything new to their existing selection, it remains in excellent condition with a notably shiny finish.

Jeff Tweedy owned the DigiTech HardWire Series CM-2 Tube Overdrive, as listed on Reverb's Wilco Loft Shop.
