Who could tell me which types, brands of guitars that MO uses?

Specifically the electric ones.

Cheers

The ones that come into my mind right now are PRS, Fender and Gibson. Anyway you can find the complete list of Mike's instruments here.

Beauty, do we also know which ones he used where?

I am particularly curious about the elec guitars on ommadawn and incantations part 4, the end part with the lady singing.

Not sure whether this information is available to this detail.

You might find what you're looking for in the discography (click on the relevant album to find out more, but not all of them yet have the 'extended' information).

In short, for those two albums, Ommadawn is heavy on the Gibson SG Junior (an early model with the Les Paul signature on the headstock), while Incantations uses more of the Gibson L6-S (which is certainly what he's playing in Part 3 where he goes up to the 24th fret, and I think he probably also plays the same guitar in part 4, but I'm saying this from memory of how it sounds, so I may be wrong. Generally, the L6-S has a slightly thinner sound, due to its maple body). I hope that helps, anyway!

Lately he's been playing his Fender Strat and his PRS Custom 24 mainly
