Rick Parfitt

2:00 "This is my stage Tele which I've had for most of my life..."

All these were fed via another modified Coloursound booster pedal and an MXR Polyflange to ten more Vox AC30s arranged right across the backline stack.

Rick uses a Roland GP8 signal processor, which has three different chorus/flange settings and three overdrive settings.

This video from the dvd "Rick Parfitt's Rhythm Method" is a tour around Rick's equipment. At 24:06 and 24:50 Lloyd (his guitair tech) shows how the AC30 is used in live shows.

The official Status Quo website states that along with the 800 Rick sometimes uses a JCM 900.

Rick Parfitt uses a Fender Esquire in open G tuning. He employs two capos: one on the fourth fret for songs like "Little Lady" and "Most of the Time," and another on the second fret for "Rain," "Mystery Song," and "Big Fat Mama." A user-uploaded photo confirms this setup.

This has always been Rick's main guitar. In its signature white, it is, along with Rossi's green painted Telecaster, part of Status Quo's image, and it is still used to this day.

At the 25:44 minute mark Lloyd (Rick's guitar tech) shows how Quo use the JCM for live shows.

In this video Rick Parfitt can be seen using a black Gibson melody maker for the song 4500 times, he commonly used this guitar for this song

In later years, Rick Parfitt transitioned from using Gibsons to playing the Status Graphite Slipstream. In a YouTube video featuring Status Quo performing "Backwater" and "Just Take Me," Parfitt praises the Slipstream for its wonderful balance and solid feel, especially the neck. He mentions that although it has a more modern design, its neck profile is reminiscent of his cherished white '62 Telecaster. Parfitt describes the Telecaster as heavily strung and rarely handled by others due to its challenging playability.

In the music video for Status Quo's cover of John Fogerty's "Rockin' All Over The World," Rick Parfitt can be clearly seen playing an Ovation Viper Electric Guitar. This is evidenced in the AI-enhanced promo video available on YouTube, uploaded by Status Quo and upscaled by L. Hargreaves.

Rick Parfitt is seen using the Marshall JCM800 2203KK Kerry King Signature 100-Watt Guitar Amp Head, notably in white, throughout the entire performance of "Caroline" at the Glastonbury Festival on June 28, 2009, as documented in a video by frede olsen on YouTube.
