Ok so first... it's not a Gibson or epiphone guitar it's a Alumisonic brand guitar model 1100. The video one is not a tele at all. It's a Visionary instrument brand instrument.

Actually he used a black Gibson Les Paul with dot inlays on stage during Wedding Nails on the "Anesthetize" DVD! He also used a strange illuminating guitar, very similar to a Telecaster, but couldn't find anything else about it.

He's also using a Bad Cat Lynx Head occasionally.

Discovering PT is like finding gold in a mountain stream that has been supposedly panned out. What incredible music! Be sure to check out his solo work along with Blackfield, a side project of his. Awesome videos to be found on YouTube!

According to the Wikipedia article, Steven Wilson uses Gibson Les Pauls for recording but plays PRS's on stage, probably because they are much lighter and still deliver great tone.
