Fact:
"Trucks avoids processing and effects, preferring to get the purest tone possible by connecting his guitar directly to his amplifier. He modifies his tone with the controls on the guitar."

- Washburn E300 (listed in a 2003 article)

Amp
- 1965 Fender Reverb (the '63 is pictured below)

Trucks doesn't need no stinkin pick:
"Trucks regularly plays without the use of a plectrum (pick). He generally plucks or strums (together or independently) with his thumb as well as his index, middle, and ring fingers."
