He plays this guitar during the fourth and final song, Space to Bakersfield. Clearly viewable.

"There was a ’50s Les Paul Special with P-90s that I used a fair bit. I have a ’77 Les Paul Standard that I used a bit. I used a Squier Jazzmaster—the J Mascis model—and I threw some of those Seymour Duncan Antiquitys in there."

And then I’ve got an ’87 Gibson SG that’s kind of a ’61 reissue with – I think – a Lollar P-90 in it. That one’s good. Real cool. Its neck has been broken a few times on flights and stuff, but I glued it back together [laughs].

"What are your main guitars?

1978 Les Paul Standard, 1977 RD Standard, SG ’61 Reissue and a Gospel acoustic."

And then just a while ago for my birthday, I found a [NJ Series] BC Rich Mockingbird from ’84 in a cream colour. It’s great because I had a BC Rich – I think it was the Eagle – when I was much younger. I loved that [the Mockingbird] has kind of a Les Paul neck, but a little rounder. It’s just a bolt on one – the neck-thru ones are very expensive now. It’s got a Seymour Duncan Super Distortion pickup in the bridge, which is pretty cool sounding. I’ve got a few others but I don’t use them live. I’ve unfortunately had a bunch of guitars stolen, too. That was a drag.
