GHS Strings R+RL Nickel Rockers
When I was a teenager, I used GHS strings because I was from Michigan, and they were made in Michigan. I liked the nickel ones because they sounded a little bit different. But I stopped caring when I was 19 or 20 years old. Everyone always asks, 'Do you like .009s or .010s?' I have no preference, because I can’t decide if I want to make it easier or harder on myself. I usually choose to make things harder on myself, but I don’t know when it comes to strings. Lighter strings might actually be harder for me to play, because I hit them so hard. I bend them too easily, and break them all the time. I leave it to chance. I always just tell whoever is putting the strings on to do whatever they want. I won’t even notice.

Fender '65 Twin Reverb 85-Watt 2x12-Inch Guitar Combo Amp
When asked about his The Dead Weather rig, Jack white says "the amp is a Fender Twin Reverb—no Silvertone, like in the White Stripes." In the Northern Lights DVD, Jack White uses the amp combo and says "that’s so I get the crunch and the reverb at the same time. The Silvertone’s reverb is horrible, so I just use it for the thick, Jensen-speaker crunch that only a Silvertone can produce. No other amp can sound like that. I use the Fender for the reverb. It’s the best. A Silvertone and a Fender make a great combination
