Michael Clifford's Guitars
In the article, Gibson Guitars asks Michael Clifford what his go-to guitar is and to which he replies:
"The Gibson Melody Maker DC Joan Jett Signature. I first discovered them at the start of the U.K. tour, when Gibson invited us to their London showroom. It was insane, just walked into this room full of guitars, it was insane! They let me borrow one and have been playing them ever since. Thank you Gibson!"
You can see the headstock at 00:30 and you can see him play it at 0:59 - It is infact a Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro - not an Epiphone Les Paul Standard as described. You can tell this by the hardware used, as well as the custom logo on the headstock, which the standard does not have.
In an interview with Gibson, Michael Clifford says "Gibsons will always be special to me!" and "For the U.K. leg of the tour, we had a Signature T Les Paul Goldtop."
