In this user-uploaded photo on Flickr, John Nolan is seen playing a Fender Classic Series '72 Telecaster Thinline. In an interview with Guitar World, Nolan expressed his preference for Telecasters, stating, "I love the feel of the Telecasters, although I don't like the sound of the pickups that come on the regular Telecaster. I prefer P90 pickups a lot better; that way, you get a feel of the Telecaster and get a sound that's more like a Les Paul."

The band has two Thunderbolts, which are employed in their live performances, as seen in a photo posted by Taking Back Sunday on Instagram during their June 19th Philadelphia show.

I emailed Supro to ask which model Supro amps Taking Back Sunday is using live and on their new record "Tidal Wave" and the email I got back said, "Hey Tom,

The band has two Thunderbolts (regular, not +), two Dual-Tones, and one Coronado.

I understand they did use Supro amps on Tidal Wave, but I don't have any specific details.

Eddie says: "By far the best amp on the planet. The low end and high gain is unbelievable. And it's all in a compact amp, it's all you need."

Hope that helps!

Best, Peter
