Gibson Robert Johnson L-1

I played a Gibson L1 [on The White Stripes’ album Icky Thump]. That’s the Robert Johnson model. I have one from 1915. There are clips of me using that one all over the place on the last tour. We just put a surface-mounted pickup on it, one of those you tape on, like they use on a violin. It was hard to pull off live. But we do have songs where Meg wouldn’t play so loud and it would be okay. I love that guitar a lot. It’s probably my favorite.

Gretsch Guitars G6118T Anniversary with Bigsby Hollowbody Electric Guitar

I started with a Gretsch Anniversary Jr., which was the only small hollowbody guitar I could find. I made it a double-cutaway instead of a single. I had a Bigsby installed, and I put in an old mute, too. When you pull a lever, the mute comes up and dampens the strings. I also had a light-activated Theremin installed that I could control with my wrist while I was playing. When I lifted my wrist, the Theremin would be added to the sound.

Gretsch G5445T Double Jet Electric Guitar

I designed a Gretsch “Triple Jet” by adding a third pickup to a Double Jet, and putting an MXR Micro Amp inside the guitar. You can instantly get an overdriven sound by clicking on that pickup. You can just plug into an amplifier. If it’s time to play a solo and break out a little more, just click that switch on the guitar. I had everything for that band made out of copper. All the pedals were made of copper. I had a copper microphone, and I had the guitar made of copper. We even went as far as putting copper frets on that guitar—just to see how it sounded. It sounded incredible! But copper is so malleable that the frets wore out after one show.

Fender American Acoustasonic Telecaster

He [Chip Ellis, master builder at the EVH] got me the new Acoustasonic Telecaster, which was the first one out of the Custom Shop that they’d done. That’s been really helpful onstage, because you can switch from acoustic to electric in the middle of the song. I’m using that a lot onstage. Then this other one, this B-Bender that I really customized and put new pickups and all these contraptions in… I can bend the high-E string, I can bend the B with the strap, I can bend the G string, and then I can drop-tune the E with this flip-switch, which is something that the Wolfgang guitar did that I wanted to carry forward. So it’s sort of making these new guitars full of contraptions. It’s really, really interesting.
