Away from the keyboards, Gore plays either a Gretsch Country Gentleman or a copy of a Gretsch Anniversary guitar, strung with Gibson strings, from .010 to .046 gauge. Dick Knight copied Gore's original Gretsch for stage use, using Gretsch parts but adding more wood in the body to cut down on feedback.

'Alex' asked the following questions. If you know answers, please contact me:
I've always been interested in the subject of what guitars Martin plays live, but unfortunately there has been little or no information (most people just copy and paste the info from your dm page). Recently looking at different dm live photos and some different guitar webpages, this is what I could come up with and I would greatly appreciate any ideas/additions/corrections on these subjects:
Gretsch Anniversary - light green
Most common guitar. Used on all tours 1987-2001.
Two copies were made before 1993 tour by Dick Knight for live use. One of them
is now owned by Alan Wilder. The other is still used live.
Gretsch Country Club - brown/yellow-ish with white pickguard
First used on 1998 tour and then on 2001 tour.
I'm really confused about the 'red' guitar - my guess is that there were two:
one was Gretsch Country Gentlemen as stated in the Musician magazine article, and it was only used on the 1993-94 tour. (see "Behind the Wheel" from "Devotional")
the other is either Gretsch Tenessee Rose or Gibson ES-335 and it was used live since ultra parties (1997-2001). (see JD Fanger's LA Ultra Party Photos)
