Did you already see this?:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=in-Fye0nIyA
He is using a dunlop univibe and a ibanez ts 808.
And here,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TizHg7S-aWE, he said he was using a ibanez ts 808 handwired. And I believe he is using the bogner shiva head, not the combo, I think he uses the combo to practice.

Watch this video, and you see mark using a gibson les paul and matcheless combos!

Thats because Mark used to be a gibson player in the early creed days but got his gear stolen and got an offer from PRS so thats what he changed to.

In a recent interview with Guitar Edge Magazine he said that he has switched from jazz 3s to dunlop tortex 1mm. It also said that he has a dragon PRS that was given to him by Paaul Smith, A black singlecut 7 string PRS and a Mike Mushok signature PRS baritone that he used to track on the new creed record. Peace!!

Mark actually uses a combination of two different sets. He uses the wound strings from a set of .011's and the nickel strings from a set of .010's. He is known to use hybrid sets of strings and mix up different gauges. Mark Tremonti rules!

i got the sound and the story DVD yesterday and in it mark says that he olny uses the dunlop jazz III now because when he trys to use another pick it just feals too big, also mark has a blue and white guitar that someone wanted him to sign and he said he liked it and they told him that he could have it if he gave them one of his touring guitars so he gave them his least favorite guitar and got a cool new one he also uses 11 gauge D'Addario for rhythm and stuff like that but for practicing he uses the 10 gauge because they don't hurt his fingers if he plays for 6-10 hours straight
