From the FAQ on the homepage... more info available there


what kind of equipment does elliott use on tour and in the studio?
guitars: 2 gibson es-330's, a pre-1969 red one in standard tuning and a '69 or later sunburst one in open d (dadf#ad) (the difference between the pre and post 1969 is the fret at which the neck joins the body, the post at the 19th fret and the pre at the 16th, but that's probably more than you want to know).

the old gibson acoustic is actually a 60's j-45 and he uses a fishman rare earth soundhole pickup with it. he also uses a cheap 70's yamaha acoustic.

the top hat amp he uses is a model k-35 (king royale). he used a vox ac-30 on conan o'brian.

the pedals of course are the dl-4 and the budda phatman tube overdrive.

other guitars seen on record covers and pictures:
