Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

Some interesting things from this photo about gear during "The Entire Population Of Hackney" gig.

It seems that Dave and Steve played their own instruments and not borrowed ones. Dave is playing the 1964 Strat. It's a shame we don't see what Adrian is playing, as that would be the most interesting thing. Was it Jacksons? Was it the black Charvel Strat? Or was it still Lados? Tremolo work sounds like a Floyd, but we know that the black LADO had a Floyd at this point. Also, on Silver and Gold I assume he played the original Roland Synth guitar. Or were the MIDI Jacksons already made. But, from Adrian's sound it's very safe to say that he was playing Gallien Kruegers at this point already.

Well, if I had to bet, I’d say Adrian played the white Lado Strat from Wasted Years countdown performance, if not, I’d bet the black Charvel, and about Silver and Gold, I’d bet the MIDI Jackson was already made, I don’t think Adrian would play the original Roland live, since it wasn’t as good-looking as the Jackson and was a nightmare to play live.

Or he got the HSH Jackson at the end of World Slavery tour, since they were in California. It was something Floyded, but more than that, your guess is as good as mine.

Most likely. H mentioned in an interview that Grover Jackson came to one of their shows, offering to build him a guitar, so that must have been on the WST, and if I'm not mistaken, Adrian stayed behind in USA/Canada for a while with his girlfriend (now Wife) after the tour, so by the time he went back home (England), he had probably already had it made.
 
Also, a question, has anyone of the guitarists ever played with a recessed Floyd Rose? I’ve seen that all of Dave and Adrian’s guitars have dive-only (non-recessed) tremolos, they’re probably not as tremolo-ish as Dimebag or KK Downing haha.

Also, why would they opt for non-recessed Floyds? That’s rare (well at least for me because I’ve always been a recessed Floyd guy).

Adrian's tremolos are floating. Dave's are dive only. Adrian did flutters at the end of Senjutsu.

The only guitar that has a recessed Floyd is the Jason Smith custom shop Strat.

Gotta say that when I built my (non recessed) H Jackson 86 replica, it HAS to float, just so the strings don't bottom out on the frets. So there's definitely some upward movement too.
