Guitars
Smear almost exclusively uses Hagstrom guitars. Smear's most used guitar since 2008 is a custom made Black Hagstrom, which has no name or designation but it looks like the models F-20t and Hagstrom F-200p.
During his time in Nirvana, Smear sometimes used Fender Stratocaster models that Kurt Cobain bought for him. In an interview, he stated he had 3 of each Strat and had to scratch them to tell the difference. These guitars were normally used on the songs "Scentless Apprentice", "Heart-Shaped Box", "On A Plain", and "All Apologies". Sometimes Smear used a blue Mosrite guitar that Cobain gave him as well.
For amplifiers, Smear uses Peavey 5150 and 6505 heads.

Famous quotes containing the word guitars:
“The present century has not dealt kindly with the farmer. His legends are all but obsolete, and his beliefs have been pared away by the professors at colleges of agriculture. Even the farm- bred bards who twang guitars before radio microphones prefer “I’m Headin’ for the Last Roundup” to “Turkey in the Straw” or “Father Put the Cows Away.””
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Even now she does the snake-hips with a hiss,
Slops the bad wine across her shantung, talks
Of pregnancy, guitars and bridgework, walks
In parks or alleys, comes haply on the verge
Of happiness, haply hysterics. Is.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
