Joe Hawley's Guitars
Best visibility at 1:31, but Joe can be seen playing a metallic red fender strat throughout the video. This guitar also appears in some of the mtv specials from this era
In this performance, you can see Joe Hawley playing a Red Gretsch G6128 Duo Jet.
The Rickenbacker 330 was Joe's main electric guitar starting around late 2007 up until Tally Hall's final shows in 2011.
Joe Hawley is seen playing a Seagull S6 in this 2011 concert photo. Originally this guitar would be used live by both Joe and Rob, switching for whoever would play the acoustic part of each track, but later on it would be only used by Joe.
This guitar was used by Joe at his 2016 Sonic Lunch concert in Ann Arbor as well as a private show with Sofar Sounds the same year.
Joe would sometimes use a Takamine G-Series for acoustic Tally Hall sets, mostly in 2006 and 2007.
Joe Hawley of Tally Hall occasionally borrowed the Gibson J-185 EC acoustic guitar from bandmate Rob for performances, though he primarily used his own Seagull S6 and Takamine G-Series guitars. This information is supported by a user-uploaded photo.
An Esquire is visible in the studio at 1:31 in this video. It's unknown if this guitar was ever used however it is visible in the background of several Tally Hall videos. It's unknown who actually owned it but it was likely shared by Rob and Joe as several other guitars they used were.
Used by Joe in several acoustic Tally Hall sets as well as a few tracks on Tally Hall's Good & Evil. He is seen playing this guitar for the track Hymn For A Scarecrow at 3:09 in this video.
Joe would use this guitar as a backup for his red stratocaster in the early days of Tally Hall. One of the few known times he used it was at the Pingry School on May 13, 2005 (see photo).
In this photo from a show in 2007, you can see Joe holding an SRV tribute Strat with a different pick guard or the name scratched off. It is clear that is an SRV tribute because it has the reversed bridge, gold hardware and SRVs name on the headstock.
In this video, Joe Hawley can be seen using the Gibson ES-335 at 1:39. The video is very compressed, however there are details that show that it is the ES-335. The tan "outline" on the sides of the body are shared with ES-335. The pickups, while hard to see, do match the ES---and the bridge is in the correct location. This was during the rerecording of Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum for the 2008 release.
Rob Cantor can be seen playing this in the NYC II (https://youtu.be/YfcC4hXs_SI?si=z_UltszGS5GferuB, 1:35) video, where the back of the guitar is seen, and the shape of the headstock matches the ES-335.
The ultimate deciding factor was an image posted to Stratosphere Sound's Facebook. The videos were recorded at Stratosphere Sound, and since neither Joe or Rob used the guitar in a live performance, it is safe to guess the guitar is owned by the studio. This image features an ES-335 on the right side of the picture, behind a Telecaster.
In this photo, Joe Hawley can be seen using a Gibson Les Paul during the original tracking of Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum.
