Jesse Lacey

"That's actually a Stagg, I don't know anything about it I was looking for like a Jazzmaster style body for cheap that I could throw around on stage a little bit and our tech Joe put a Jaguar bridge pickup in it a few years ago, it actually sounds really good" - Jesse Lacey at 3:42.

It is used at nearly every concert, and can easily be seen in videos and pictures of live performances.

"This is a late '70s Tele that my friend John Nolan, who plays in Taking Back Sunday, I think we took it from one of his church worship leaders from when we were in high school and he let me borrow it a long time ago and I never gave it back to him so..." - Jesse Lacey at 1:14.

Jesse's Ice Blue Metallic AVRI Jazzmaster is a staple for live performances. Plastered in stickers, you can see it in almost any show after The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me was released.

At a recent concert, Jesse Lacey was photographed playing a Fender Jazzmaster Troy Van Leeuwen Signature, as shown in a user-uploaded image on Reddit.

Around 0:14 you can clearly see Jesse Lacey playing a white Telecaster with a B-Bender tremelo unit. It is almost certain that this is a Nashville model because it has a middle pickup rather than the standard S/S pickup configuration.

In this picture, Jesse is playing a 90s Fender Squier Super-Sonic Vista for a solo tour with Kevin Devine & the Goddamn Band in 2008.

During Brand New's comeback show in Dallas on March 26, 2025, Jesse Lacey can be clearly seen performing with a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster in a dark night color. This is evident in a multicam video by Carl Halligan, particularly at the 14:40 mark during the performance of "Sowing Season."
