Peter Hayes

Two of Peter Hayes' Gibson ES-335s can be seen at 2:20 in this video.

One of ES-335s was mentioned in a 2018 Music Radar rig rundown

It was Rob’s dad’s guitar and it’s got a really nice neck. I’m not sure how long he had it, but it was used in his band, The Call. It’s a scary guitar to be taking out because if something happens to it... It’s in C tuning for Red Eyes And Tears, Six Barrel Shotgun, American X and a few others. I would say it’s a scary guitar to be taking out because if something happens to it... I have the original pickups at home, something went out so they’re in a box waiting to get repaired. Right now it has the same Rio Grande pickups that are fitted in all my guitars.

In the same year, Hayes talked to Premier Guitar about a relationship wtih ES-335 guitars.

When I met Rob, his dad had a Gretsch and a red 335. The 335 was the closest to the acoustic I was playing, as far as feel, and if the power goes out, you can still hear the thing … which happened a lot to us in those days. So it started like that, through Rob’s dad’s guitar. As I got better, 335s seemed to hold the tunings I use a bit better, which makes my life much easier. Maybe that’s in my head, but they don’t seem to rattle as much as other guitars when I throw odd tunings at them, and I also like the way they start yellin’ with feedback when things get loud. They have their own character when you’re playing through a big amp, and it’s a lot of fun to let them take off into feedback and control it.

On this picture we can see Peter Hayes plays on a Fender Telecaster Deluxe, this guitar was eventually replaced by a Gibson SG

Around the 2:40 mark we can see Peter Hayes plays a Gibson SG, with a capo on the fourth fret. In 2018 Music Radar interview, Hayes said that he "stole" this guitar from Gibson.

I stole this from Gibson! I think they know I took it and I probably owe them for that. I like the sound of this. I’ll use it for Teenage Disease, Little Thing Gone Wild, Steal A Ride. I dig the sound of SGs, they’ve got a tough feel to them that’s different to other guitars. I dig the sound of SGs, they’ve got a tough feel to them that’s different to other guitars. And it’s a very direct sound compared to the semi-hollow ones. I like guitars that aren’t necessarily friendly to play. I’m not really into having the action real low or any of that - when guitars get too smooth and easy, they almost sound a bit weird.

Hayes' SG Standard was also listed as gear he uses in 2018 Premier Guitar interview.

Mentioned in 2018 Music Radar rig rundown:

This is a 1945 reissue, which they made two versions of so I called up Gibson when they came out - one was more affordable with a thinner neck and body and the other was more of a baseball bat neck. I used it in regular tuning for Fault Line, Some Kinda Ghost, Ain’t No Easy and Devil’s Waitin’ The guys said they’d get one over to me and I was like, ‘Really?!’ because I wasn’t talking about the cheaper one. Months went by and I didn’t want to bug them, I just figured it was going to happen. And sure as shit, they surprised the fuck out of me and came up with one to keep!

Mentioned in 2018 Music Radar interview:

“This was made by a friend of ours in Denver, who runs a company called V16. It’s a tanky guitar and weighs a lot. He made us a baritone guitar as well. This one’s actually a bit of a floater - at the moment I’m using it for Awake, in a C open tuning. But a lot of the time it’s in regular tuning in case any of the others go down.

Not used professionally; Falcon was Hayes' first electric guitar.

In the very beginning, I had an acoustic guitar I’d borrowed from my mom. Then I got a Peavey Falcon, which was a Fender rip-off that reminded me of Hendrix’s guitars.
