Re: Sum 41 guitarists

Dave Baksh uses a Duncan Custom and Deryck Whibley uses a JB Jr. For more information, see Guitar World, February 2002, page 44 and Guitar World, March 2002, page 83.
 
Re: Sum 41 guitarists

I remember seeing them on TV once (2-3 years ago), the singer (Derryck?) had a really killer tone, he was using a Gibson SG through a Marshall and I noticed he had SDs on his guitar.

The other guy (the lead guitarist) was using one of those cheap PRS Santana SE and his tone was pretty boring. I think he had SDs as well.

Deryck doesnt have any guitars that accept single coils, therefor no Jr or Lil's either. all his axes are buckers.

nope, followed sum 41 since their first album "Half Hour of Power" ('00) and he played his Gibson Marauder on that album, Marauder, LP's and SG's on "All Killer No Filler", and LP's and P-90 SG's on "Does This Look Infected?"


~EDIT~
and he uses bucker Tele's and LP's live nowadays
