==Musical equipment== Jonny Lang, since the beginning with The Big Bang, has used a 1972 [[Fender Telecaster Thinline]] made by the Fender Custom Shop, as well as a 1958 reissue custom shop [[Gibson Les Paul]] in more recent years as his sound and style have grown and flourished. His original Custom Shop Tele - with a black flamed maple top, flamed maple neck, pearl signature inlay and his trademark pinup girl character on the aft body was stolen some years ago. He has added a couple more custom thin-line teles-all carrying the basic aesthetic motif, but with varying colors from a burnt orange/amber to a deep violet throughout the years since. The 1972 Fender Telecaster Thin line is a semi-hollow spruce body, maple top, and a maple neck and fretboard. He has not, however, sported the pearl "Jonny Lang" signature inlay since his original custom tele, but still stays true to his WWII-style pinup girl at body artwork. Jonny's Telecasters have three [[Bill Lawrence (guitar maker)|Bill Lawrence]] Pickups (L500 Neck, L500XL Bridge) with a 5-way pickup switch and a coil tap for accessing a single-coil tone. On his pedalboard for his 2014 tour was the Analog Man [[King of Tone]], a Whirlwind The Bomb boost, a Visual Sound V2 Route 808, a [[Fulltone]] Ultimate Octave, a JAM Pedals Tube Dreamer, and a [[Boss Corporation|Boss]] AW-3 Dynamic Wah. On this tour, he played his Custom Shop Tele and the 1958 reissue Custom Shop Gibson Les Paul through a pair of modified Fender β65 [[Deluxe Reverb]] amps.<ref name="Rig Rundown: Jonny Lang">{{cite web|url=http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/20415-rig-rundown-jonny-lang |title=Rig Rundown: Jonny Lang |publisher=PremierGuitar.com |access-date=November 4, 2015}}</ref> Lang also used an Arbiter [[Fuzz Face]] and an [[Electro-Harmonix]] POG for The Experience Hendrix tour. Lang has also used Audio tech Guitar Products ABC Selector CCM on his 2005 acoustic tour. The guitar featured on the cover of ''Lie to Me'' is not a Telecaster but an original Fender [[Fender Esquire|Esquire]]. Upon filming the music video for the title track "Lie to Me" which took place in a San Francisco music store, the store owner suggested Lang play the Esquire in the video. Lang fell in love with the guitar and it was purchased and given to him as a gift. He continues to use it, but not as often as his Custom Shop Telecaster and Signature Series Les Paul.<ref name="Rig Rundown: Jonny Lang"/>
