I read a source that on every album that AC/DC ever did, he's used an SG Standard from 1970 (or '71) in walnut brown, that was his main guitar from 1974 to 1978, however, another source says that starting with Highway to Hell, he started using other SGs in the studio. I just want a conformation on which source is right.
I know that he cut the first 2 albums with a Les Paul Custom, and I'm guessing that Theatre of Pain, Girls, Girls, Girls, and Dr. Feelgood was mostly a handful of Charvels and Kramers, and after Dr. Feelgood, he used Strats for the most part. But that can't all be that he used in the studio. I hear that he used a '58 Flying V on some of the '80s albums, and a Gretsch White Falcon on some bits on Dr. Feelgood. What else?
For me, it could very well be Love Reign O'er Me!
I always wondered what guitar he used. It might have been the Danelectro 3021, but some of the earliest performances of the song have him playing his No 2 '59 Les Paul. Was it one of those two, or was it an entirely different guitar?

Excluding the well-known facts that he used that Esquire during his time in the Yardbirds, a Les Paul Standard on "Beck's Bolero", and a modified Telecaster (Tele-Gib) on "'Cause We've Ended as Lovers". What else?
I'd like to know if anybody has any info on all the guitars that he used on RATM's albums. We all know that he used his Arm The Homeless for the standard-tuning songs, and his black Telecaster for the downtuned songs. I also learned recently that he used a red Les Paul Standard to double the rhythm tracks on the debut. What else did he use?
We all know that he's mostly known for playing the Dean ML and other ML shaped guitars. I think he mostly used the Dean From Hell for standard-tuning songs, and other MLs for the downtuned songs. After Far Beyond Driven, he played Washburn guitars until Pantera's breakup, and started using Deans again shortly before his tragic death. I'd like to know if that's all he used? Did he keep using the Dean From Hell (and other Dean MLs) during his Washburn endorsement? I'd also like to know if that's all he used? Were there any guitars that he used in the studio, that he never used live?
Just wanted a confirmation on what specific Les Paul he used on the song. Some sources say that it's his '59 Les Paul Standard that was his primary guitar on every album since LZII, and others say that it's the 1960 Les Paul Custom that he used during his time as a session musician, and was later stolen from him (and recently found!!!). Does anybody know for sure which one
I'd like to know more about the guitars that they used on their albums. Here's what I know so far:
Stone used a Les Paul Custom on the first two albums. He also uses a 1968 Fender Telecaster (formerly Mike's) pretty often in the studio. I also saw him with a Les Paul Standard, a Les Paul Signature, an ES-330, and a Flying V. Did he use any of those and/or other guitars on their albums?
Mike used a black Japanese Stratocaster ('62 reissue) on most of Ten, and a yellow '57 reissue Strat on Yellow Ledbetter. Apparently Mike smashed both of those Strats later on. Shortly after Ten was completed, he got his 1960 Strat (often mistaken to be a '59 Strat), which has been his #1 Strat since then. He also used a Rickenbacker 660/12 on "Not For You", and a'59 TV Yellow Les Paul Junior on "Mind Your Manners". His main acoustic is a Gibson Dove. I also know that he has a '58 Strat with a maple fretboard, a '59 Les Paul Standard, a Gretsch White Faclon and an SG Jeff Tweedy signature. Did he record with those and/or other guitars?
