    I'm gonna guess a strat through a marshall.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    All I know for sure is that Mike used his reissue Strat (strung with 12-gauge strings), stock pickups, and a WAH pedal through a Marshall.
    Cheers . . .

    crybaby wah, TS-9 (and possibly the ibanez sonic distortion). He went through a straight Marshall stack. Also, he in fact used his Fender Strat resissue with 12 gauge strings.

    it's a 59 strat, as far as i know.

    during ten, he played fender, stone played gibson
    (they each pretty much had 1 guitar)
    it says so on the "booklet"

    I'm not an equipment whiz, but I always thought Mike used a Les Paul for Alive. At least, I was always unsure until Storytellers, and he was using a LP for that version of Alive.

    i just recognize it's gonna be a "TEN" song at a show when stone's got his yellow-burst les-paul and mike's with his good old strat...

    Mike used his reissue Strat to record that tune. He may have used a LP in some of the concerts, but he used the Strat to record it on the album - Cheers . . .
