Hey folks, I had made an Elliott guitar guide months ago but hadn't shared it here, here's a list of MOST of Elliott's guitars.
GUITARS:
Fender Duo-Sonic, was Elliott's main guitar in Heatmiser from 1991 to early 1994. The guitar had either red pickup covers or replaced pickups entirely.

Regal Le Domino, used by Elliott to record Roman Candle in Fall 1993, was borrowed by his then-girlfriend J.J. Gonson.

Epiphone Crestwood Custom, bought sometime in early 1994 and replaced the Duo-Sonic as Elliott's main guitar while in Heatmiser and was used to record Cop And Speeder.

Yamaha FG-180, was Elliott's main acoustic and is his most imfamous guitar. Used throughout 1994-2003 in both the studio and live. He had a Bill Lawrence A300 acoustic pickup fitted in the soundhole but then changed the pickup to a Fishman Rare Earth acoustic pickup in 2002.

Martin D-18 nicknamed "Grandpa", it was owned by Mary Lou Lord and had been used by both Elliott and Kurt Cobain.
Yamaha FG-140, rarely seen live but used on a couple occasions in 1995. Can be confused with the FG-180 but has different tuning pegs then compared to it.

Gibson ES-330, Elliott had five of these guitars in Sunburst & Cherry-Red finishes and they were his main electric guitars, they were used both live and in the studio. These electrics started making appearances starting in 1998. Elliott got into these guitars due to borrowing one from Rob Schnapf.

Fender Telecaster, electric that was mainly used on From The Basement On The Hill, borrowed from David McConnell. This guitar was heavily pieced together from other vintage telecasters.
