In the first and fourth slide of this Instagram post announcing its wide release, Sullivan King is seen holding a 7-string variant of his signature Schecter Banshee model. While the second slide of the same post shows King playing the 6-string variant live on stage, he is shown with both variants in the post at large and has almost certainly played the 7-string live at some point.

In the first slide of this Instagram post from April 2024, King can be seen playing a DJ set at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado for which he is using four Pioneer CDJ-2000 series DJ players connected to a mixer.

He goes on to say that most of the album Show Some Teeth was written initially using the Orleans as a test guitar before laying down the final album tracks on an electric guitar. He also verifies that it is the guitar used on the acoustic version of his Excision collab "Wake Up." He goes on to mention that it was also used on the Vantablack EP.

Sullivan King was given 2 custom Schecter C-7s by the company in October of 2019 as part of his sponsorship with them. The first appearances of these guitars were on Twitter/X that same month.

One of the C-7s has a matte purple body, a solid black neck, and a purple headstock to match the body. "RAGE" is printed on the neck in an opalescent color. The second of the two C-7s has a cracked black/exposed wood body, a light wood-colored neck, and a light wood-colored headstock. "RAGE" is also printed on this guitar's neck in black.

At 2:18 in a Youtube video posted in April 2020 showing off part of his guitar collection, Sullivan King highlights a red Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR. King says it was his first Schecter guitar and that it was manufactured in 2007.

He also mentions that the guitar is slightly modified with EMG 81 and 85 pickups instead of the stock EMG 81/89 setup Schecter initially sold the guitar with.

At 2:31 of a YouTube video posted in April 2020 showing off some of his guitar collection, Sullivan King highlights a heavily worn and damaged Schecter Solo model. The extensive damage and modification makes it difficult to tell exactly what kind of Solo it is.

King claims that this Solo was the first guitar he ever played. He goes on to say that it was formerly owned by his guitar teacher.

The guitar sports myriad chips and scratches- some intentional, some unintentional. Large portions are covered in black tape. There is a large black hand grenade decal on the back. Several knobs and switches have been moved around on the guitar body or removed entirely. Some phrases and images have been carved into the guitar's body, including "FREE BIRD," "DON'T TALK OVER THE DROP," "DEATH METAL," and "BOO!" The back of the neck has also been sanded down for more ergonomic playing.

King states that fellow producer Grabbitz also carved his logo into it.

At 3:09 in a video posted in April 2020 showing off some of his guitar collection, Sullivan King highlights his unusual-looking Schecter E-1 model. The guitar is solid black with a silver metallic trim along the edge of the body.

King states that he purchased it after seeing it while picking up a guitar he had damaged from Schecter's headquarters in Shadow Hills, California. He also states that he believes the guitar's finish to be "one of one" and that the guitar is a "prototype" of some kind. He lists it among his favorite guitars in his collection, noting its resemblance to the Gibson Explorer models favored by Metallica guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield.

King also includes a video clip of him performing his collaboration with Snails and Kill The Noise, "Shake The Ground," using this E-1 at the Hard Summer festival in 2018.

At 2:18 in a Youtube video posted in April 2020 showing off part of his guitar collection, Sullivan King highlights a red Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR.

Though the 81 pickup is stock on this model, the 85 is not.

At 3:35 in a YouTube video posted in April 2020 showing off some of his guitar collection, Sullivan King highlights a dark red Gibson Les Paul Studio. He says that it was the first "really nice" guitar he purchased for himself, but in spite of this, he has not used it on any recordings and mostly keeps it for personal use and as decoration.

It is notable for being one of the few non-Schecter guitars in King's arsenal.

At 3:57 in a video posted in April 2020 showing off some of his guitar collection, Sullivan King highlights a black Schecter Hellraiser C-7 Hybrid. King says he uses this guitar on stage frequently and that it was used at his first major festival appearance at the Lost Lands 2017. He also says he used it while touring with Black Tiger Sex Machine. He praises the guitar's reliability and durability while on the road.

Later in the video, we see the remains of a red Hellraiser C-7 Hybrid that was destroyed by King on stage following technical difficulties at the IleSoniq 2019 festival in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. King claims that in lieu of a set-ending solo, (which he could not perform due to the aforementioned technical difficulties) he smashed the guitar a là Pete Townshend to give the crowd something memorable.

At 4:46 in a video posted in April 2020 showing off some of his guitar collection, Sullivan King highlights a "Lamborghini orange" Schecter KM-7. As King was in the process of moving during the video's production, he does not have the guitar physically in the video; rather, he shows a picture of himself playing it. King states this guitar was used extensively on the House of Wolves EP, the Vantablack EP, and more.

Later in the video, King also shows off a "Lamborghini blue" version of the same model which he says was also used extensively, though more for live shows instead of recording.

At 6:45 in a Youtube video posted in April 2020 showing off part of his guitar collection, Sullivan King highlights a black Fender Stratocaster. King mentions the guitar is a 1978 model specifically; the paint has begun to chip and peel with age.

King says that he initially borrowed the guitar from a friend to record his EP The Demented but enjoyed it so much he bought it from said friend.

At 7:27 in a video posted in April 2020 showing off some of his guitar collection, Sullivan King highlights a red Schecter Hellraiser C-1 that is strung with bass strings. King says he uses it for its "beefy" sound that helps him fill out tracks sonically.

At 9:01 in a video posted in April 2020 showing off some of his guitar collection, Sullivan King highlights a natural wood Schecter Banshee. He says the guitar was purchased in 2018 and used extensively on tour that year. He goes on to praise its reliability.

At 10:16 in a video posted in April 2020 showing off some of his guitar collection, Sullivan King mentions that while he previously owned a Schecter Damien Elite-7FR and used it on the Vantablack EP, he has not seen it since the EP's release as he loaned it indefinitely to producer Dirtyphonics.

He mentions that it was his first 7-string guitar.

At 10:34 in a video posted in April 2020 showing off some of his guitar collection, Sullivan King highlights a Schecter Model T bass, the only bass guitar shown in the video. King state's he's had the bass "a good long while" and that while he doesn't play bass live, he does so himself on records.
