Neil Finn's Guitars
Finn uses the Jet Firebird throughout this clip from Crowded House's 2007 Chicago House of Blues show.
A main guitar for Finn throughout Crowded House
Probably unlike many professional musicians you appear loyal to one or two guitars. Your Gold Les Paul Deluxe has been around for a number of videos and probably hundreds of gigs now have been tempted to try a new instrument?
NF : I use lots of guitars at home but on stage I have become very reliant on the Gold Top.

Neil Finn is known to frequently play a Gretsch Double Jet electric guitar with many of his bands, as seen in a user-uploaded photo on Contactmusic.
In this video of Crowded House performing "Don't Dream Its Over" during a tv broadcast 1986 Neil Finn plays his Fender Stratocaster
It turns out that Neil Finn's collection of guitars is just as eccentric as the keyboard line-up. "I have three main guitars — a 1966 Gibson Les Paul gold top, a mid-60s Strat and a Telecaster — but for Woodface I used a lot of obscure, trashy old guitars. They're real junk guitars which were marketed through department stores and mail order companies in the '60s. They're worth getting, because they don't cost much to buy, but have a lot of character."
Intonation and tuning problems not-withstanding, Finn used the cheapo guitars all over Woodface. "What sounds like a sitar on 'How Will You Go' is actually the Silvertone through its own amp which is built-in in the case. It has amazing distortion."
He is seen playing a natural version of this guitar throughout the whole video.
Neil Finn is seen with a Maton Fyrbyrd 12-string guitar in a photo from ABC, showcasing his preference for this solid-body electric guitar model.
In early Crowded House videos, Finn uses a blonde, Gibson ES-335 with rectangle inlays. He also used it live on occasion.
this might need correction but in the video for Crowded House recent single To The Island Neil Finn plays an Airline guitar but I'm not sure whether it is an original or an eastwood remake
