Static installed a single [[Seymour Duncan]] SH-6B 'Distortion' humbucker in all his guitar's bridge positions; until switching to EMG 81's in 2012 after signing with Dean. His signature Epiphone, ESP LTD, and Dean guitars did not come with neck pickups as he did not use them.

Static used a Gibson Flying V from early in his career; seen in the videos up until 2003.

Static also used a Gibson Explorer; as seen in the music video for "I'm with Stupid".

In 2004, Epiphone released a Wayne Static signature Flying V Guitar. "Special features on the Static model include a single volume control and one toggle switch for the two Epiphone USA pickups, no pickguard, Ebony fingerboard with no inlays, black hardware, Plain Black satin finish, and the Static-X logo on the headstock."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.epiphone.com/News-Features/News/2004/Epiphone-gets-aggressive-with-new-Wayne-Static-sig.aspx |title=Epiphone-gets-aggressive-with-new-Wayne-Static-signature-guitar |website=www.epiphone.com |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161107145025/http://www.epiphone.com/News-Features/News/2004/Epiphone-gets-aggressive-with-new-Wayne-Static-sig.aspx |archive-date=7 November 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2007, ESP produced the ESP Ltd Static-600 Wayne Static Signature Guitar. It featured an Explorer-shaped body, single Seymour Duncan Distortion humbucker, and nickel/diamond-plated scratchplate covering the entire mahogany body, as seen in live photographs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Static_X.JPG|title=File:Static X.JPG - Wikimedia Commons|website=Commons.wikimedia.org|access-date=August 5, 2020}}</ref>

In 2009, ESP produced the ESP LTD Static-600V GMB as Static's new signature guitar. It featured a Flying-V-shaped body with diamond plate metal screwed to the front of the body, black hardware, and Static X logo at the 12th fret.

In 2012, Static joined Dean guitars and started playing custom ML Modifier.<ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kf2NT7r4Ngs&feature=share] {{dead link|date=August 2020}}</ref> Until his death, Static played Dean guitars as an endorsee. While Dean did not release a Static signature model, Dean did produce a series of custom models for Static; fitted with his standard single bridge [[humbucker]] and single volume control.

===Amps===
{{unreferenced section|date=August 2020}}
For his live tone, Static used a simple [[Marshall Amplification|Marshall]] MG100HDFX. The MG100HDFX was one of the cheapest solid state amps made by Marshall during Static's touring time with Static X. On tour, Static could easily and cheaply get a replacement if the amp broke. Amps breaking were not a common problem as solid state amps like the MG100HDFX are less prone to breaking than tube amps, another reason for its selection.

Static's cabinet of choice was the Marshall 1960A.

As of the "Cult of Static" tour in 2009, all of Static-X ditched the traditionally used touring amps and cabinets for a Line 6 Pod XT Pro direct to P.A. sound set up and maintained by longtime guitar tech Erik Fincher.
