What gear does The Offspring use?

“The main guitar was a ’65 SG Junior with the single P-90 in it, and it just sounds so great.”

“I play Ibanez mostly live, because they sound great and travel well.”

“Yes, the good old Tube Screamer [laughs]!”

“They’re both sunburst models, I guess they’re calling it the NDM 5 after the pickup upgrade – now they sound nicer and a bit hotter. I like the new ones more.”

“I have my 1956 Gretsch Sparkle Jet, which is here with us now. We used it on a few things on this record.”

“It was light like a Fender but gave me the sound of a Les Paul. So, that's what led me to develop my signature Ibanez.”

“It's a '64 Gibson SG Jr., with one P-90 in it. We used that more than any other guitar when we were recording.”

“We had to be mindful of using it because an Explorer with EMG pickups is not very Offspring-sounding.”

“So, we started adding VHTs because we wanted to add some thickness.”

“But I do have an old Ibanez Tube Screamer that we use quite a bit.”

“It’s a Pearl Reference One, their new Reference line. It has slightly thinner shells than the previous Reference series and it sounds great!”

“Aside from that, Paiste cymbals, Vic Firth sticks and Remo heads.”
