Jonny Wickersham

This is his first of his two main guitars. This one is tuned to Eb and has a capo on the second fret.

This is his second main guitar, which, unlike 1957. Gibson Les Paul Junior, is tuned to E standard tuning,

"I love the way this guitar gets something unique from a Tele. It's very versatile. It can sound similar to a Les Paul Junior or it can get almost Strat-like tones in the middle and neck positions"

In typical fashion, Jonny travels with drool-worthy acoustics, too—this is his 1947 Gibson J-45 with a LR Baggs Anthem pickup.

Rig Rundown - Social Distortion's Jonny Wickersham [2015]

"I was doing a show in San Diego and my buddy said I had to check out these amps that were built in town. So they both came down before the show and Adam [Grimm, of Satellite Amps] brought one of his first heads, and we plugged it into my Marshall TV 4x12s. I remember I was playing my ’59 Junior and all I could think was, “Man, this is happening.” At the time, I was using a ’69 plexi and a ’72 metal-faced Marshall—amps that make people look at me like I’m crazy to have them onstage—but the Satellite was just bringing it as well as those old Marshalls. And for what we do—onstage and recording— Adam’s 36-watt head is perfect. I mean, I was spoiled for years with those two Marshalls, but the Satellite heads I’ve been using are exceptional. Everyone tends to hang tightly to those sought-after guitars and amps—including yours truly—but the great thing about gear is trying new stuff and being happily surprised."

Hands-down the pedal freak of the band, Wickersham travels heavy with three stompboxes—a Boss TU-2 Tuner, an MXR Micro Amp that he utilizes as a clean boost to push the amp a bit more while still retaining the guitar’s natural tonal characteristics, and a J. Rockett Audio Designs Archer that he uses as a fairly-transparent dirt box that fills his tone out and adds harmonic richness.

"I used to love my second-generation Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer, but I’ve grown weary of that tone…"

"I was producing this band called the Strangers, and they had a really cool pedal called the Tone Freak Naked OD. It’s right in between a distortion box and ’60s fuzz, with this nice, open, sloppy overdrive that adds some hair but never gets too loose or undefined that it’s out of control."

This is from Dave's (The creator of the Aluminum Falcon) Facebook Page. You can clearly see the Aluminum Falcon I on Jonny's pedal board. The Aluminum Falcon I is a faithful reproduction Klone of the Klon Centaur.

Some days are better than others, especially the ones where you see that Jonny "Two Bags" Wickersham of Social Distortion and Cadillac Tramps is using an Aluminum Falcon. Thank you, it's truly an honor. #geartalk #geartalkpnw #pedals #pedalporn #effectspedals #socialdistortion #cadillactramps #klon #klone #almostalwaysbetter @jonnytwobags with @repostapp. ???

Those particular strings are used on all of his guitars. In the rig rundown case, on 4 of them.
