Guitars Notes: I couldn't find exacts on colors/ exact models for these guitars, so the links are as close as I could guess to what he uses. It is hard to find out exactly which color guitars he's used via all my research. - Gibson Les Paul Customs for Too Fast For Love Shows 1981-1983.  - Gibson Les Paul Custom, B.C. Rich Warlock, Gibson Flying V and Guild Flying Star during the Shout At The Devil tour 1983-1984. - Hamer Explorers, Kramer Barettas and Kramer Pacers during the Theatre Of Pain tour 1985-1986. - Kramer Custom Shop Telecasters during the Girls Girls Girls tour 1987-1988. - Kramer Custom Shop "mirror top" Telecasters and a variety of Barettas and custom shop Kramers during the Dr. Feelgood tour 1989-1990.
