"I've got a Fender six string — an F65 — with a pickup inside it. That goes through the AMS to harmonise it. It's a great guitar for studio work, though you can't use it live because of feedback. But I just love that bright acoustic sound."
"I've got a Johnstone six-string. I had a Telecaster that kept cutting out on me, just before we went off on a European tour, so I borrowed this Johnstone off of Flesh For Lulu. But I trashed it one night when I was completely out of it, so I couldn't give it back. In the end I told them to keep the Tele, and I kept the Johnstone. That's another guitar that's held together by gaffer tape, even after I spray-painted it.
In an interview for Guitar & Bass magazine vol. 16 from December 2005, Wayne Hussey declares :
"Around that time I got a Roland GP8 rack, which was basically eight Boss pedals that you could program. l've tried many things over the years,but I always go back to that for live music."
