I know Mike and Stone play both Gibson's and Fenders but what would you say is their main brand? Fender or Gibson? I know Mike uses his 59 Strat a lot and is one of his favourite guitars and Stone seems to use Fenders more these days.

    It's definitely pretty equal shares of Fender and Gibson. In a very simple sense, I generally think

    Stone: Les Paul
    Mike: Strat
    Ed: Tele w/ P90 or Humbucker

    I'd say stone is more partial to Gibson and Mike is pretty 50/50. Hard to say with Ed since he pretty much went from Schecter PT to SG to Tele

    anyone check out Ed's guitar at Lolla. Its like an LP replicate. Forgot the name though. think its made in germany.

    miek is definitely split although he's been playing alot of that LP jr. on the last album

    ed's definitely over his SG phase.

    Ed's a pretty big SG guy too, at least during the Riot Act period.

    I know this is kind of old, http://www.giventowail.com/gear.php , but I don't think their guitars have changed too much since then.
