It's a 1968 refinished candy-apple red Fender Telecaster that has a vintage Fender Bigsby-style tremolo system. Originally, the guitar was purchased by Mike McCready a few years ago, but Mike traded it to Stone for a different guitar that he wanted. Since then it's become a standard part of Stone's touring and recording equipment. (I'd say overall it's probably Stone's #2 or 3 guitar.) The guitar was manufactured by Fender with the tremolo as part of its original hardware. The only changes we've made to the guitar have been the implementation of graphite bridge saddles and nut (this helps Stone cut down on broken strings), new pots and pickup selector switch, and the usual conductive shielding paint in the pickup/electronics cavities to help reduce noise.

The acoustic guitar that you hear on "Live On Two Legs" is from a Hamer "Duo-Tone" acoustic/electric guitar. It's a semi-hollow body guitar that has electro-magnetic humbucker pickups (for an electric sound) as well as a piezo bridge-saddle pickup (for an acoustic sound). The Duo-Tone also has two separate output jacks (one for the electric pickups, one for the acoustic pickup) which allows the player to have separate control over the sound he/she is going for. With a blending pedal (such as an Ernie Ball Stereo/Pan pedal), the player can have either a fully electric/overdriven tone, a fully clean, acoustic guitar tone, or a blending of both. During the recording of studio records, Stone or Mike would choose to use a true 100% acoustic guitar for acoustic parts, but on stage the Duo-Tone is more convenient, flexible, and sounds pretty good, so it's a better fit for the road.
