In an interview with an Australian magazine, Seasick Steve attributes much of his unlikely success to his cheap and weather-beaten guitar, 'The Trance Wonder' and reveals the guitar's mojo might come from supernatural sources. <blockquote>"I got it from Sherman, who is a friend of mine down in [[Mississippi]], who had bought it down at a [[Goodwill Industries|Goodwill]] store.

It's the darnedest thing – we’d leave it over in the potato barn and we'd come back in and it would be moved. You'd put it down somewhere and the next morning you’d come back and it would have moved. When you took that guitar the ghost in the barn left'. He told me this not very long ago and I said to him, 'Sherman!

It has an old [[Harmony Company|Harmony]] pickup added (with [[duct tape]]) and is [[Guitar tunings|tuned to G]], A and B using an E string in the A position, a D in the G position and a G in the B position. At his gigs, he often tells the story that he bought it for $75 in this condition in [[Como, Mississippi]], from a man named Sherman, who later told him he only paid $25 for it the day before. Wold vowed never to add another string, and that he would tour the world telling his story of how Sherman ripped him off.<ref name="Op de Beeck, p.159"/> All in good fun as Sherman Cooper is a good buddy, who gave him the guitar having had it nailed to the wall as a decoration.<ref name = ObserverSept08/> A lot of the time he also adds (while picking up or putting away the guitar) that it is the "...biggest piece of shit in the world, I swear."{{Citation needed|date=August 2008}} On a BBC interview Steve claims that the guitar was found by a friend, just with the three strings on it. So he decided to keep it that way. ====The One-Stringed Diddley Bo==== This is a one stringed instrument played with a [[guitar slide|slide]] (He uses an old screwdriver for this purpose). It consists of a {{convert|2|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}} 2x4, with a semi-loose piece of broom wire nailed to it at both ends. It was made especially for him by [[Super Chikan|James 'Super Chikan' Johnson]]. An instrument like this is known as a [[diddley bow]]. ====The Morris Minor Guitar==== When on the TV show ''[[Top Gear (2002 TV series)|Top Gear]]'', presenter [[Jeremy Clarkson]] commented that Steve's car history of over 100 cars included a [[Morris Minor]]. Steve then presented a 4-string guitar that his friend (davey) had made out of two old [[hubcap]]s from a Minor 1000 joined back-to-back and his wife's broom stick. Steve then played it a little in the episode. Jeremy Clarkson replied that it was the best use of a Morris Minor he had ever seen. A similar guitar was made out of Hudson [[Terraplane]] hubcaps, one of them given to him by [[Jack White]],<ref>[http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/seasick-steve-performs-bluesfest/1310360/ sunshinecoastdaily.com.au]</ref><ref>[http://www.gigwise.com/photos/68422/2/seasick-steve-interview gigwise.com]</ref> referring to [[Terraplane Blues]] by [[Robert Johnson]]. ====56 Dano==== He can be seen playing a '56 [[Danelectro]]/[[Silvertone (instruments)|Silvertone]] single cutaway (modified) on various gigs ====National Triolian==== He used a [[National String Instrument Corporation|National Triolian]] on some gigs and studio recordings.
