Hello does anyone know what models Johnny and Chris use as their accoustic guitars?

Thanks everyone

I know Chris uses a Martin often (ironic huh?)

not sure about Jonny though..

Jonny uses a number of different Fender Telecaster Thinlines including:

Vintage Fender Thinline telecaster® 74´- Used in Yellow and Clocks live, Jonny has two of these guitars, one is more worn.

Vintage Fender Thinline telecaster® 77´ - Used on X&Y and Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, this one has the viva logo painted on it.

Vintage Fender Thinline telecaster® 74´ - Walnut Brown - Used for slide work and also in Death And All His Friends live

Vintage Fender Thinline telecaster® 72´- Natural Finish - Used in 42 & Low and other song which are played in alternative tuning e.g. Drop D.

Vintage Fender Jaguar® 65´- Used mainly on the Parachutes tour for Shiver and Yellow - made an appearence at MTV Storytellers in 2005 during the song The Scientist. Also seen on Live 2003 in Shiver. Jonny also has a Red Fender Jaguar seen in the Lovers in Japan & Life In Technicolor and Amazon.com videos.

Vintage Fender Jazzmaster® 62´-One of Jon's older guitar, used on tracks: "We never change" and "Sparks".

He's also got a Pink one, he started using this tour, seen here:

Vintage Gibson ES335® - Used while recording A Rush Of Blood To The Head. Made appearences at Glastonbury 2005 in Don't Panic & In My Place Music Video

Fender telecaster Jerry Donahue® - Used on Parachutes tour as main guitar. Jonny had two of these, one was a borrowed one. Also used in God Put A Smile Upon Your Face - Live 2003.

Gibson Les Paul Custom - Used in Violet Hill

Thanks mate, but he asked about acoustics. Anyone know what acoustics Jonny tends to use?

Chris had a Martin OM15CE.

the 5th electric guitar is also used in the shortened versions of GPASUYF and Talk.

thanks everyone I appreciate your help

Jon likely uses Martins too. He doesnt usually use them to much though.

Actually I am pretty sure Jonny uses a Gibson. the guitar Jonny was using to play the Scientist during the X & Y tour and the Viva tour are the same, and I am pretty sure he is using a Gibson as a acoustic. (Chris also used a Gibson during the acoustic set of X&Y tour)

Yeah, up til the end of AROBTTH they predominantly used Martin's, but from X&Y onward it's been Gibson...

I hate Johnny for having that vintage Jazzmaster :(. I also remember hearing a while back that the Martin Chris used for AROBTTH is discontinued.

Out of envy? Or do you just not care for jazz? :rolleyes:

Sorry I read the original post as being both acoustics and lead guitars. Yeah he seems to use Gibson guitars these days. I actually really like the sound the of the Jazzmasters.

No, I love Jazz. I'm just jealous that he has a vintage Jazzmaster. I played one of those remakes at a Sam Ash two years ago and I loved it. I'm sure the actual Jazzmaster is ten times more amazing! When I go big, I'm going to buy one ;)

Chris also plays a Takamine EAN10C and i've seen him use a Takamine Santa Fe style model. Martin and Gibson were mentioned already.

Specifically, Jon uses 2 Reissue Gibson J-200 acoustics. (A sunburst one, and a natural finished one presumably used as a backup.)

He's also currently using a Gibson Blues King (the same kind Chris is playing this tour, and Jon's is painted as well.)

There have also been photos of him recently with a Martin dreadnaught (presumably a d-28) which he seems to use as a warm up guitar

CHRIS MARTINS MOST RECENT ACOUSTIC HE USED AT HOPE FOR HAITI IS A GUILD JUMBO ELECTRIC ACOUSTIC F-50 WITH THE D-TAR PICKUP SYSTEM...and some sort of new shure microphone as well.

Look what the Oracle said today:

Q. Hello

Do you know what the model is for Chris Martin's Martin guitar?

Thanks

The Oracle replies:

No, but luckily I know a man who does. Thanks to the knowledgeable Hoppy (Chris' guitar tech for those who don't know) for this very comprehensive answer.

"On the MX tour he was playing Martin D-15 M's (FYI: D= dreadnought body shape/ number = style, the higher the number the more fancy appointments, binding, inlays etc/ M= mahogany). He used six or seven in a show, set up for different songs/tunings and all painted different)."

He also went on to tell me:

"His favorite is a 1985 (I think) made D-28 which doesn't tour. I believe he originally rented this from John Henry's Hire dept. a long time ago and subsequently bought it from them.

Amongst the others, he has a vintage pre-war D-28. Also D-42, or 45 K (K=Koa wood) from the 70's (I think!)

Also he may have a OO-15CE (OO= body size, small/ C= cutaway/ E=electric) somewhere. He used these on the Rush of Blood tour.

He has recently been recording with 2 new HD-28's (H= herringbone, which is a style of binding they previously used on pre-war made D-28's) that have been modified, and a couple of specially made 12 string versions of D-15 M's."

He knows his stuff does our Hoppy! Wow, I hope you guitar fans out there found that as fascinating as I did.

yeah I read this too, sounds interesting doesn't it? I'm looking foward to hear the 12string d15m on the new album!
