I used an Ibanez TS9, I had the gain pretty low and a compressor with pretty high sustain. And then I had the EarthQuaker Tone Job V2 EQ/booster pedal – it’s great for the EQ as well as a boost. That’s how I carved out the gain-y tone for the record.

I played a Gibson ’67 Flying V Reissue for most of the tracks. The neck is awesome. It’s really loud for a solidbody guitar, which is cool. It resonated super well and sounded really big and fat and it’s real pretty to look at. Then on some songs, like Headwind, I used this black Gretsch semi-hollow; the pick-ups are super cool, they’re G-Supers. And then also a traditional Les Paul pops up here and there.

Tony Esposito uses a 2016 Gibson Les Paul Traditional, as evidenced by the source. He notes that this guitar has been through a lot with him.
