Ronnie Wood

In the live performances of "Paint it black" Ronnie wood is seen using a Danelectro electric sitar. In the original recording, Brian Jones played a regular sitar but as new gear became available, the traditional sitar became more less efficient. Danelectro produced a guitar that imitated the sound of a sitar but was less bulky and easier to play.

At 1:52 in a backstage interview during the Rollings Stone's 2003 Licks tour, Ronnie Wood says that he uses this hollow body, California-made lap steel "for the softer numbers like 'No Expectations'."

Ronnie Wood uses the Emmons SD 10 Lashley LeGrande III pedal steel guitar, as evidenced by its appearance in live performances. He can be seen playing it during The Rolling Stones' 2006 concert in Zilker Park, part of the Biggest Bang Tour, notably in the song "Bob Wills is Still the King." Additionally, this instrument is featured in the 2006 concert recording at Beacon Theatre for the song "Far Away Eyes." This information is supported by official footage available from The Rolling Stones on YouTube.

Ronnie Wood is confirmed to use a Fender Forrest White Lap Steel guitar, owning both a 1950 version characterized by its White Pearl color and Fender ashtray on the bridge, and a 1963 version in classic cream white with no metal bridge cover. This is evidenced by footage of Wood playing the Rolling Stones song "Happy" with his Fender lap steel guitar, as documented in "The Rolling Stones - Happy (Live 2013)" recorded live at Hyde Park, as provided by The Live Tour on YouTube.
