I didnt know Nels liked Jaguars? I thought he was a died in the wool Jazzmaster dude, interesting.

 

Sure someone has posted this link before but Nels talks all about his gear right here: http://www.nelscline.com/tech.html

 

Is the red SG a 69? I wish the rest of the band had a definitive gear list... I know it would be huge but what a great read it would be.

 

He plays the Jaguar on What Light and Hummingbird. Mostly because Jaguars have 22 frets as opposed to 21, so Nels can hit the high D on the Hummingbird outro and etc.

 

Cline still plays a Danelectro. I saw it myself, it was a brown natural sort of color, imagine his Double-cut LP except more brown, and it's single cutaway.

 

He also sports a really new Jazzmaster this time around, it's a shiny red finish. Or he got one of his old ones refinished.

Highly unlikely. I think I saw a photo of him playing a white one with the Nels Cline Singers. I've also seen the red one. I suspect he bought a few guitars now that, for the first time in his adult life, he's making some decent money.

I've no idea if he uses it with Wilco, but on his website Nels mentions that he has a Jerry Jones baritone

 

He uses it on "Caved-In Heart Blues" off of The Nels Cline Singers latest release "Draw Breath." It sounds fantastic.

I'm pretty sure he also plays it on the first Singers album. It's on a really pretty ballad ("Slipped Away" is the song title if I remember correctly). They opened with it when they played in Atlanta, and Nels was using the baritone for that tune.
