The NF3 and Custom 22 are the most prevalent. A strat with 3 single coils is sometimes used as well.

He uses a Tone Tubby 4×12 cab and two 2×12 Hard Truckers speaker cabs with Alnico tone tubby speakers. He also uses a Fractal Audio Axe-Fx for effects, mainly reverb and delay sounds. In 2011 he continues to use Fuchs as his main amplifier.
