Tim Wheeler

Used in a number of early videos and live gigs including TV appearances on Big Rickety Wheel and MTV's Hanging Out

Tim's main guitar for live shows is his Flying V as you can see in the image.

"The SG is amazing, I love how light it is and how well it plays. It's got that fat sound – I love the sound of Gibson humbuckers. I love it so much that I try to use it for everything! It's just so comfortable."

It’s the guitar that I pretty much record everything with, my 1960s Les Paul Custom Black Beauty, with three PAFs. It’s become my main workhorse guitar – it’s too posh to bring on tour, but when I’m in the studio it’s my main one. I don’t know what I’d do if something disastrous happened to it… actually, I’d probably just go and buy a Custom Shop reissue!

I had a really nice 1976 Fender Mustang, blue with the racing stripe, but it got lost in a studio to move in the 90s. I bought it in New Orleans on tour, and I think I used it in the Life Less Ordinary video. I wish it was still around, but I’ve never bought another Mustang!

In this video Tim can be seen using a Black Gibson Les Paul Standard.

I’ve already got a nice Goldtop ’57 Reissue as a backup – I just love Les Pauls, and the sound of humbuckers.

At various points in this music video for "Angel Interceptor" from 1995, first at 00:15, Tim Wheeler can be seen using a cherry red Gibson SG Junior.

In the YouTube video titled "Tim Wheeler (Ash) - My MESA/Boogie Story," at the 1:12 mark, Tim Wheeler is clearly seen playing a Gibson Explorer Electric Guitar.
