"Tim plays various G&L (with which INXS hold an endorsement) guitars."
In an article by Jonathan Chancellor on realestate.com.au, Tim Farriss is mentioned in relation to his use of early Bill Lawrence L-250 pickups. These pickups contributed to his signature clean and precise hi-fi sound, often enhanced by an aftermarket brass bridge and thick strings. Although the term "Swampkaster" was used, it likely refers to his preference for guitars equipped with these specific pickups.
