Seems like they used a variety of guitars for their albums:
--quote--
I brought over some of my vintage guitars, like a couple of old Strats, an old Telecaster, an old les Paul and my usual collection of Explorers. I also bought a few guitars while over in LA too. I bought a very nice Gibson SJ-200 from 1948 which is the acoustic guitar you hear on the track Humanity. But I used for the most part of the album, my own Signature model Mastercaster which I’ve had for two years now. It looks like a Stratocaster but has all the options I need to reproduce all the stuff I do in the studio, on stage. It has 24 frets, a Floyd Rose and new type of patented pickups that are Humbuckers but also a real single coil pickup too. So I can get all sorts of sounds whether that would be a Tele, Strat, Les Paul or Explorer I get it all in that one guitar. Luthier Boris Dommenget invented the pickups as well made my guitar. Rudi and I play almost exclusively Dommenget guitars now. They look like my Gibsons I used to play, but the way Dommenget makes them are great and they’re reliable and they sound good.
