Steve Hackett

In this interview, Steve Hackett discusses his guitars, including his 1957 Les Paul Goldtop. He says, "For me, the Les Paul’s tortured cry, but it’s strength as well, spoke to my heart and gave me the strength to carry on. "

Found on Steve Hackett's Official Website, he talks about his Fernandes Les Paul, saying, "Currently my favorite electric used throughout my latest album Out of the Tunnel’s Mouth."

Hackett states, on his official website, that he uses his Ovation UK2 on his album "Highly Strung." He says of it, "Twinned with a Marshall or two it's a mighty sound."

"Most famously used on Please Don't Touch plus Wind and Wuthering. Please Don't Touch featured deliberately excessive use of tremolo arm. I was thinking of the swirls that became prevalent in Van Gogh's later work as the madness really set in (his best stuff of course!)" says Steve Hackett's, on his official site, about his 1970s Black Stratocaster.

From Steve Hackett's official website:

Heavily modified with Floyd Rose trem and Roland hex pickup and controls for the Roland GR-700 guitar synth.

Steve is quoted as saying:

Steve: "A really fat sounding guitar with a warm tone plus the added facility of mixing the neck and bridge pick-ups together - creamy, bitey, nutty, crunchy!"
