He used a Marshall 100watt plexi in the 70's turned up really loud to get an amazing distortion tone on the original mahavishnu records. In 1991 he replaced the amplifier with a Sony Digital Sonic Modulator. Guitar wise he also used a double neck called the "Double Rainbow" made for him by Rex Bogue (in mahavishnu), for trio of doom he used a 1972 Gibson ES-345 with scalloped fretboard. In his earlyer miles davis years he was also known to use a fender mustang, a gibson byrdland. In Shakti he used custom guitars built by Abraham Wechter.
