I'm also pretty sure that he used a PRS with P-90 pickups, at the very least for the sooner or later video.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the G&L he played in the band's early days is an ASAT Classic (I didn't immediately know this when making that last lengthy post). Add that in if you can confirm it.

As far as effects go, he also uses a Hughes & Kettner Rotosphere. In this video he calls it his "secret weapon": www.youtube.com/watch?v=glM7wAENV3w

That video also shows that he uses a Morley Bad Horsie wah. Does anyone know if he switched from the Dimebag sig wah to the BH, or vise versa?

Next subject I have to touch on is guitars. Although he uses Ernie Ball Music Man now (and PRS in early and recent years), he has also used a G&L Telecaster copy early on in the band's career (for example, you can see him playing it in the So Cold video and in some early live performances).

You can also see him playing a Fender 72 Thinline Tele in this performance of Polyamorous: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm70xSiUjHA

Also the last subject I have to touch on is amps. Although he uses Randall RMs now, he has used Hughes & Kettner amps (Duotones I think, correct me if I'm wrong) early on in the band's career. You can see them in the Fuse performances of Polyamorus (see above paragraph for link) and So Cold ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szgf392fPRU )

Hope that about covers it. Sorry for the huge wall of text.
