Well from the excellent Pics from the Photos from 3/70 Hanover show Thread, we see him playing a Flying V

Well, hopefully Jeremy will read this and give us the lowdown himself.
Besides the Flying V, I've seen photos of him playing a Fender Stratocaster.

And, a couple of big "jazz box" Gibsons, that unfortunately I don't know the model name or number.

KAY semi-acoustic
Gibson ES-175 (w P90 picups)

...was a 1958 Fender. I picked it up in Oakland 1968 for $120 when Gerry Garcia took Pete and me around a huge warehouse of second-hand guitars. Yes, the pick-up selector switch was just below the neck pick-up.
It was good guitar, and I had it for about 3 years, but I was never completely happy with a Strat until recently when I picked up a Mexican model (Strat, that is ;))

This arrangement does mean that you don't have to release the trem ( more correctly vibrato ) arm to let it drop out of the way, in order to change pick ups ,You could even continue to hold the tip of the arm whilst changing Though I assume you never bothered with a trem arm Jeremy -I don't recall seeing you use one ?!
Perhaps this was the reason why Jimi Hendrix used an overturned right handed Strat ,when he could easily have bought a left handed one .!
It's a similar problem with a Bigsby unit on a SG, because of the position of the PU selector switch .Also this switch goes up and down whereas it might be more logical if it went front- back .
