*[[Gibson Les Paul|Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop]] - Baritone scale length of 27" on an oversized custom Les Paul body. Originally he was built two identical Les Pauls. Both had 22 frets and all white hardware. Most recently in 2008, Buckethead has been playing either a new Les Paul or a converted version of one of his two white Les Pauls. This new/converted Les Paul may be 24 frets but there are not any high quality photographs that would allow an accurate count of the frets.

The pickup selector which was covered on his previous Les Pauls now contains a second killswitch, possibly for preference of placement, or as a backup. The Tune-O-Matic bridge has been replaced with a gold one. The most recent videos of Buckethead playing in the summer of 2009 show he has reverted back to a Les Paul with a white headstock. He has replaced the square killswitches with round arcade style buttons. The only noticeable difference between this new Les Paul and all of his others is the lack of binding around the neck. Videos clearly show the ebony fretboard is laid right on to the neck and there is no binding.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwkiLjXHH7Q Gibson employee Sean Paden about one of the custom shop LPs]</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrguvUE1SN0 Two white Pauls]</ref>

Equipment

[edit]

Throughout his career Buckethead has used a wide range of different guitars, effect pedals and amplifers. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

Guitars

[edit]
  • Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop - Baritone scale length of 27" on an oversized custom Les Paul body. Originally he was built two identical Les Pauls. Both had 22 frets and all white hardware. In 2008, Buckethead was playing either a new Les Paul or a converted version of one of his two white Les Pauls. This new/converted Les Paul may be 24 frets but there are not any high quality photographs that would allow an accurate count of the frets. It also features a black headstock with the same inlays as his other Les Pauls. The pickup selector which was covered on his previous Les Pauls now contains a second killswitch, possibly for preference of placement, or as a backup. The Tune-O-Matic bridge has been replaced with a gold one. The most recent videos of Buckethead playing in the summer of 2009 show he has reverted back to a Les Paul with a white headstock. He has replaced the square killswitches with round arcade style buttons. The only noticeable difference between this new Les Paul and all of his others is the lack of binding around the neck. Videos clearly show the ebony fretboard is laid right on to the neck and there is no binding.[9][10]
  1. The neck is a 27" scale Baritone with an Ebony fretboard. Most of his previous guitars have also featured Ebony fretboards.
  2. The body is clearly oversized but is NOT semi-hollow.
  3. The keys are "tulip" style Grovers.
  4. The two original Les Pauls have all white hardware while the newest Les Paul has a gold bridge and tailpiece.
  5. Buckethead has replaced the classic 2 volume, 2 tone controls with a master volume, master tone, 3 way selector and killswitch.
  6. Buckethead's pickups have long been disputed. It is clear in the Young Buckethead videos his Heartfield Talon 2 contains two Dimarzio X2N's. His ESP MII Custom was fitted with an X2N in the bridge and another Dimarzio in the neck. His oversized Jackson's both contained X2N's in the bridge. His original two Les Pauls were rumored to either contain a Gibson 500T and 496R but there is no definitive proof. Other rumors claimed that this is when Buckethead began using the Tone Zone(B) and Air Norton(N) combo but at least one of the Les Pauls retained the pickup covers so it is hard to say for sure. His new Les Paul contains what appear to be two aftermarket black pickups, the neck pickup looking like there was some attempt to make it white. Most will agree that his new Les Paul likely contains a Tone Zone in the bridge. The Air Norton is the most popular neck pickup in combination with the Tone Zone but this pickup is unknown. The previous references of the Tone Zone being the neck and the Air Norton in the bridge are most likely a mistake, as Dimarzio recommends that the Tone Zone be placed in the bridge position while the Air Norton be placed in the neck posistion.Thread at TK. Also from Paden?
  • '59 Gibson Les Paul Custom[11]
  • Jackson Y2KV - "Coopwood" custom made, reverse neck, with larger body and headstock due to Buckethead saying normal guitars looked like toys in his hands.
  • Jackson Y2KV - "KFC" same as the "coopwood", only with the KFC red stripes, killswitch and an Original Floyd Rose. [12]
  • Jackson doubleneck - A custom doubleneck half guitar, half bass (as seen on Enter the Chicken and KFC Skin Piles)
  • ESP M2 Strat-shaped custom with Floyd Rose tremolo - (used at San Francisco concert with Mike Keneally, broken headstock)[11]
  • Heartfield Talon II - Midnight blue with Pink Pickups. Used in early Deli Creeps shows (as seen in the Young Buckethead DVDs)
  • Fender Telecaster - Used on various albums, mainly projects with Travis Dickerson.[13][14][15]
  • Steinberger GS[16] "Kaiser's Gift", given to him by Henry Kaiser[17]
  • Ibanez X Series Rocket Roller II with Schaller floating tremolo and custom egg-yolk-colored double-coils (one white, one yellow) designed by Steve Blucher at DiMarzio[11] - (used throughout the early Praxis live era)
