Nick is using right now a Gibson Les Paul, I think it is the studio, in fireburst color, with two humbuckers :-)

Nick plays a re-issued Epiphone Riviera 12-string semi-hollow electric guitar. He used it when he played the song electricityscape.

no, he does use the demeter. I've seen photos from the studio when they were recording First Impressions of Earth and I saw his pedal board at a live show.
