one correction to the Fender heartfield guitar. His is a talon 2 or II or TA-II, 24 fret with HSH pickup configuration.
the plain talon had a HSS pickup configuration & a 22 fret neck. You can see him playing it on some of the older vids on the net & when he was in a sound check with Praxis on the "buckethead unmasked video"
They are bad ass guitars, I have a few.

did some research and i'm pretty certain that the black pedal next to the line6 mm4 in the 2009 pic is a Nady TD-1 Tube Distortion.

I found a new pic of bucket's gear from the 2008 aggie theatre show, here's what I can identify that's not already on the list:
Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal
Digitech Whammy WH-1
Electro Harmonix QTron with PSU
Boss SYB-5 Bass Synthesizer
The pedal on the end next to the hm-2 looks like some kind of roger mayer (since he used to use a space ship shaped octavia) and I have no idea about the unit near the bottom of the pic, looks like a multi fx or ground control.
Here's the link community.webshots.com/.../...

Also, during his days with Praxis, Bucket used an Ibanez V model... you can see it on the Secret Recipe DVD

Hi guys. FYI - just added a new 2009 picture of Buckethead's guitar pedals, for those who are curious. Also updated the article with some other new info. There is a pedal or two that could use an id in the 09 pic, so see if you can make out any of them that we missed.

His guitars are wrong. He doesnt have a 59 gibson les paul painted white, thats not posible cause all the 59's are regular sized and all of bucketheads guitars are oversized theyre simply les paul customs to his specifications.

buckethead uses daddario 9-48 or 46 it says on bingeandgrab.com but he probably uses different ones now

does anybody know what type of strings he uses, acoustic and electric? And also I was wondering what he uses as his acoustic amplification.

thats because it says these photos were taken in 2005 above the pictures he might have changed a few things

Just last week i went and saw buckethead play in colorado and didn't see a 535q wah, instead i saw a snarling dog mold spore wah. Now maybe i just missed the 535q, but i couldn't seem to find it on his board, but i am 100% sure without any doubt my eyes saw the mold spore, and man, it was one hell of a wah, just wanted to let you guys know, you all do a great job with the site by the way, keep up the good work!
