There are smarter gearheads than I here who will be able to correct my mistakes, but the white guitar he uses on "Tighten Up" is a Supro. Wikipedia has it as a Supro Martinique Val Trol.

He plays a National Map on "Howlin' For You".

His go-to guitars for non-Brothers material lately have been a Harmony Stratotone H47 and a Harmony H78.

I think he used an airline tuxedo on Letterman/SNL. At least that's what it looked like to me.

Make sure your sneaker laces, they get tied.

It doesn't matter what he used. You won't sound like him even if you buy one.

Yeah Dan has some of the coolest gear in the game.

Welcome to the forum.

What I was trying to say (in my own mean way haha) is that you should find your own gear. And it sounds like that's your plan so, right on.
