Not a Hi-Res photo, but this is stage right (Dave's side) from a gig they did in England during the start of the No Prayer on The Road Tour. As you can see, he's got a 2290 as well as 3 GK2100SEL heads in the rack, plus two Marshall heads, which appear to be JCM900s.
I got it from this IG page:

Those are Marshall JMP 1987 MK II 50w amps, made between ca 1978-1981. They're basically the same as the 1987 Plexis of the late 60s - early 70s, but in the same head-box/cabinet as the new 2203/2204 Master Volume heads introduced in 1975. Dave's heads don't have master volumes though. They were...
Here's some cool shots of the lad's gear in 1985 from a Japanese magazine (Young Guitar maybe?). Unfortunately the text is in Japanese, so I have no idea what it says, but the shots are pretty cool.
As mentioned by posters before, it was shared on the instagram page of Davey's roadie, Colin Price.
Here's the link to his page:

Janick's Gillan Strats has Hot Rails in it, so he was most likely aware of them for quite some time. Also, one of his White Strats that he used on the X-Factour had 3 hot rails in it as well, I think it was either 3-tone sunburst or the blue sunburst one that he had refinished during that time...
For Dave : #1 Kossoff
#2 White ESP used on 7th Son Tour
#3 Ibanez Destroyer II DT-400CS
H
#1 LP Goldtop
#2 Lado Earth (all of them)
#3 Ibanez Destroyer II DT-300FR
That new Lado is a looker, the fact that Nico got to play it before Adrian did must be such a mindfuck for him. I couldn't care less about this whole Fender "debacle", frankly I find it amusing that people are getting up in arms about a company not wanting them to use a design which they did not...
It would most likely be an effect that's provided by the Roland GR700 guitar synth. The Synth Controller (ie the guitar, or the midi pickup mounted on the guitar and its associated control knobs) was the Lado Lazer, which had the MIDI pickup and control knobs from the Roland G-707...
Dave used the V for "Die With Your Boots On" I believe, on the world piece tour.
I also came upon a pic of Bruce playing Adrians Dean Baby ML (presumably during Revelations) on the Powerslave Tour, I'll post it tomorrow.
Regarding the LP, it was retired from live use due to Dave considering it to be too nice to be banged up on the road. That's what he said in Infinite Dreams.
1st photo is from June 22, Montreal Canada, so Davey had that white 70s strat on the Killers tour already
2nd photo is from a gig at the Rainbow in November 1981, photos taken during that show were also used for the Beast on The Road tour book (which obviously was released later), note Steve's...
Here's a pic of Davey's rig on the No Prayer Tour (It's from a Show in Scotland). I always thought he continued on using GK amps after 7th son, as his No Prayer tone was so similar, so I went digging and found this photo. He's using 3x 2100SEL heads along with 2 Marshall JCM900 amps (which were...
