Craig's Equipment?

Hey fellow guitarist here and i'd really like to know if anyone knows what guitars/pedals/amps he uses? I really like the green guitar he uses in the "Ride" and "Winning Days" videos. i just can't put my finger on what they are officially called D:

If anyone could help me out, that would be brilliant :3 <3

give me a few minutes, and i might be able to have your answers.

Craig Nicholls' Highly Evolved days live set-up included a Marshall Super Lead head and cab with a black Fender Stratocaster. His amp was set on a clean tone and for lead and distortion tones he would use a Boss MT-2 pedal. He also used a Boss Chorus pedal for clean tones and for oscillating feedback. His Winning Days set-up was very similar except he used a Garage Spalt & Scala Custom guitar and a Boss tremolo and flange pedal. The Vision Valley set-up however changed as he was using a white Stratocaster and a Sunn head and cab and for the Melodia set-up his amp, pedals and guitar has remained the same. Nicholls has also always used a Boss TU-2 tuner and has played occasionally a Gibson SG and Guild acoustic guitars. As of late 2010, Nicholls has gone back to using a black Fender Stratocaster. (wiki)

The green guitar was a custom built for him and is called a spalt and scala (old forum)

You can easily look it up on Wikipedia. I copypasted it for you:

oh, come on.. i totally had him beat! i even included the green guitar!

Ah, seems like someone ninja'd me.

Anyways, those Spalts can be quite expensive because they're custom made. I doubt Santa is willing to give you such gifts.

ive been playing one of those 50's reissue classic series stratocasters (about 700$) and it sounds exactly like the sound of Highly Evolved sound and Winning days... the best! maple neck with a glossy finish on the neck.
