Johnny Mackay's Guitars
Stated in an interview with Guitar World: "I do remember using a lot of ‘60s Jags and stuff like that. I own a ’63 Jag that I used a bunch on the [Time Itself]". It is also possible this is same guitar(s) used throughout Children Collides' career.
Johnny Mackay is confirmed to use a Fender Competition Mustang, as seen in the video "Children Collide - Chosen Armies" by CrucialMusicMgt on YouTube. Additionally, he can be observed playing the same guitar at the 6:08 mark of the 'Farewell Rocketship' video. The distinct stripes on the body of the guitar clearly identify it as a Competition Mustang.
In an interview with Australian Musician, Johnny Mackay stated: "Yeah I’m usually using a Jag, but I am going to try and start using these two new guitars I’ve recently bought. I recently bought a Teisco Spectrum 5 (legendary instrument made in 1966, in Japan). I don’t know if you’ve ever seen one of those, but they’re one of the best looking guitars I’ve seen in my life. I’m just trying to make it sound as good as it looks."
In an interview with Australian Musician Johnny Mackay states that he bought a Teisco Spectrum 5 and a 1965 Gibson Firebird 3, with a non-reverse headstock. "I also just got a 1965 Gibson Firebird 3, with the non-reverse headstock, and both those guitars are getting set up at the moment."
