In this Instagram photo posted by Tom Morello, his backstage practice setup can be seen, which consists of a D'Angelico guitar and Orange Crush 12 combo amp. The amp can be identified by its 6 black knobs, with an input jack on the right of them and a headphones output on the left of them. Also, the black lines on the body of the amp give it away as the Crush12 model. Morello says:

It is used heavily through the first album. Songs it's been used on include: Killing In The Name, Wake Up, And Freedom, As well as so many others!

In this video of Tom Morello's guitars and his home studio, he says that he bought this cream colored ST George Goya Rangemaster Copy guitar for 40 Canadian dollars. He talks about it 2:46 into the video:

"This was a guitar of indeterminate name and origin that I got at a pawn shop in Toronto for 40 Canadian dollars, because I sort of liked the way it looked. I’m not even sure it’s made of wood! But I liked the way it looked, which is sort of my main criteria for getting guitars at the time. And we wrote and recorded Rage Against the Machine song Tire Me entirely with this guitar and with a 20 watt solid state amp, which is in that room over there... and that was our first Grammy."

The bridge pickup looks to have been replaced with a black DiMarzio DP218 Super Distortion S Strat Humbucker Pickup.

The guitar was gifted to Morello by Matt Bellamy of Muse on 9th June, and pictured on his Instagram.

Tom talks about this nylon string guitar in this Music Radar article saying "That ended up being the Galvador, which turned out to have a really beautiful sound. Much of The Nightwatchman catalogue was composed, from that point forward, on the Galvador, because it did have a pickup – you could plug it in anywhere. I went on a tour in 2003 with Billy Bragg and Steve Earle, and with the Galvador I could be a professional performer (laughs). So it's the 'Whatever It Takes' guitar."

This is Tom's back up for Arm the Homeless. This is the only picture I have ever found of it. It is a Ibanez AX custom. It has an EMG either 85 or 81 in the bridge (I forget, same as ATH) and a EMG SA in the neck. It has a Floyd Rose style bridge (presumeably and Ibanez Edge, like on Arm the Homeless). This AX features solid maple neck and a black headstock. It has an ATH esque toggle switch like and vol,vol,tone setup. I have heard rumors of a bulit in whammy pedal (note extra knobs and switches) and knowing Tom, not unreasonable. This guitar appears to be toms tribute to one of his cars, it has large-small raceing stipes, a Demon Sticker and, a 340 sticker (for explanation see cars). Another weird and wonderful Ibanez/Morello colaboration. A very bitchen guitar.

"Tom got this guitar around the time he was heading of the college, and used it with Lock Up and in the early days of the RATM. The guitar is basically a cheap Ovation knock-off with steel strings."
