Now without an amplifier, Rzeznik borrowed a near-identical Marshall JCM800 from a mutual friend of the band, Charles Root. This amp was then used to record Hold Me Up and Superstar Car Wash. Since the late ’90s, Rzeznik has used Fender electric guitars. He has used many variations such as the Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jaguar and a “Halfcaster” (a Stratocaster cut in half). He also used Guild acoustic guitars on the “Dizzy Up the Girl” and “Gutterflower” tours. Rzeznik in a 2003 interview noted that “No matter what guitar I have it seems that anything with strings makes music to my ears.” Guild models used include several D-55s (unusually, most of his D-55s were built in Fender’s Corona, California Shop), a black F65CE, multiple Peregrine/S7CE Customs (a Guild Custom Shop Model), a black Songbird/S4CE, and a black F47M. Live performances of this time sometimes showed the auxiliary guitarist, Greg Suran, using some Guild acoustics such as the DV-52 and F-47M in natural finishes.
