Trent Reznor

Guitar World 1994: What kind of guitars do you play?

REZNOR: Mostly an Eighties' Les Paul Custom. I also used an Explorer, and a Jackson I have, for which I just told the company, "Put the world's loudest pickup in this."

'This ebony Epiphone Goth XII electric guitar is an official item from Nine Inch Nails. This specific guitar was played by Trent Reznor and smashed onstage at the Zepp Osaka in Osaka, Japan on 5.24.07 during the Performance 2007 world tour.' - https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/nine-inch-nails-official-epiphone-251983152

Trent has been known to use numerous Epiphone Les Pauls on Tour, perhaps as a cheaper and cost effective alternative to Gibson as the band are rumored to have smashed up to $160,000 worth of Gibson Les Pauls in the 90s during the Downward Spiral Tour - http://www.metalsucks.net/2017/05/12/nine-inch-nails-destroyed-more-than-160000-worth-of-gibson-les-pauls-on-the-downward-spiral-tour/

Trent Reznor used a Gibson Les Paul Standard during the 1994 Downward Spiral era, as detailed in Collectionzz's documentation of his smashed guitar.

Clearly from the video, Trent is seen using a Parker Fly guitar, not to mention his admiration for the creator of the guitar, Adrian Belew, who Trent once cited 'is one of the best musicians alive'. Adrian Belew was also instrumental (no pun intended) to the development of 'The Downward Spiral'. https://www.musictech.net/guides/essential-guide/nine-inch-nails-the-downward-spiral/

at 0:28, Trent is seen with this guitar

Trent Reznor is noted for using the ESP Eclipse "The Fragile" electric guitar, as documented by I Heart Guitar.

In this picture from a booklet included in the Definitive Edition release of The Fragile, an image can be found of Trent Reznor holding a Gibson ES-335 Gothic in his arms and resting.

It can be told that this is an ES-335 Gothic due to the single Crescent Moon Inlay on the neck.
