Steve Winwood

This Premier Guitar article states, " To celebrate, Gibson Guitar Chairman and CEO Henry Juszkiewicz presented Winwood with an exclusively designed Gibson Firebird guitar. The guitar is a replica of Winwood''s favorite Firebird from the 1960s, which was stolen while on tour at that time." And the picture shows Winwood with a non-reverse Firebird.

In 1969 Steve Winwood used an RMI Rock-Si-Chord in Blind Faith through out the concert at Hyde Park. It can be seen on the youtube video labled "Blind Faith in Hyde Park, 1969." It can be clearly seen as a close up when he starts the song "Had To Cry Today" (39:47)

In this article, by Vintage Guitar, Winwood talks about Stratocasters:

"'When I finally got to make some money, in about 1966, I ordered a couple of Fenders – a Strat and a Tele,' explains Winwood. 'They were CBS, and they just started remaking the maple necks. Of course, I’d seen pictures of these old guys playing maple necks, and that was a big thing. I loved the kind of stuff that Curtis Mayfield was doing – that style – and Little Milton. It wasn’t so much a driven style of guitar; it was like a clean sound. I didn’t realize that I had convinced Eric to play the Strat until reading his book. In fact, I learned a lot of things about Eric’s and my relationship after I read his book.'”

He also told Musician magazine in October 1982, “the Multimoog is where I get the effect that everybody thinks is a saxophone.” That should put to rest any Internet chatter that it was a Minimoog, or even a Yamaha DX7, which he did use later in concert.

Steve Winwood has used a "white Telecaster", according to this article by Vintage Guitar.

"No, I played Kurzweil this time. As you say I often played Minimoog in the past. Or DX7."

and

"No, I think it was one of the preset sounds on a copy of the ROM which was Kurzweil's accessory. Or maybe I used other sound module in the end. I can't remember how the patches were. But I don't dislike programming itself though I sometimes leave it to other people. Recently I use MARK OF THE UNICORN's Performer [a programming software for Macintosh] and a Macintosh as my main tools when I do it. However, as to the sounds of such vintage instruments as Wurlitzer's electric piano and Hammond organ or of such effects as wah wah, I use real ones more often than programmed ones. But this does not mean that I defy sound modules and sampled sounds." - Charles Shimiz, Keyboard Magazine May 1997, interview talking to Steve Winwood's upcoming Junction Seven album - http://www.stevewinwood.com/news/6052

"On this last album, I used the Prophet 5 exclusively, which is very limiting; I would never have dreamed that I would have found myself doing that. I just never found the need for any sound I couldn't get out of the Prophet 5."

• "The Nord C2D is the most adaptable keyboard I’ve ever come across." he says. "It can be a tone-wheel organ, a vintage euro organ, a pipe organ or two attached, programable midi keyboards, all of which I make use of at various times, and its internal sounds are infinitely useable".

"For the last 2 albums I've used a Multimoog for bass and some lead lines, and a Prophet 5, a polysynthesizer made by Sequential Circuits, for most leads on Arc of a Diver. I also used a Steinway piano and a Yamaha CS-80, too" Steve Winwood
