The guitar he’s using in this picture is a custom First Act Lola

I think that the guitar james is using in the picture is actually a dean. The only place I have seen it is at a high end guitar store in jersey. Only a bridge pick up. One volume knob. Don't have model name yet but I'll take a pic of it at the store for u guys.

Here's his rig from a couple weeks ago. I don't see the EHX Big Muff on there. www.flickr.com/.../4505485328 you have any pics of it on his board?

He also uses the Electro-Harmonix American Big Muff Pi. The other pedals are pretty accurate.

Haveto agree but It looks like this photo was taken at Parachute 2009/10 in Australia. I saw him after in London at the Koko and he was just using his JMP. They only did a couple of show in Australia and it wasn't a full tour so he may have just rented it or borrowed it from another band?
Just an idea cause it is definitely a mesa with his hotplate on top but i have never seen him use one in any other photo or clip.

I know he uses them alot.

I think you are right about that picture. If anyone knows the exact model, post and we'll list it. Here is a picture of the Les Paul he plays if you are curious: www.flickr.com/.../199102619

the guitar in the picture looks like a esp ec-50, he might have a custom one but it really doesn't look like a les paul

looks to be a mesa boogie amp in the picture you have there. It's probably james' amp, you can clearly see the ts-808 and dl-4 on his pedalboard.
