Gary Rossington usually used either a Gibson Les Paul or a Gibson SG. Allen Collins used a Gibson Explorer and Ed King (when he was still playing with skynyrd) used a Fender strat. Gary Rossington usually used either a Gibson Les Paul or a Gibson SG. Allen Collins used a Gibson Explorer and Ed King (when he was still playing with skynyrd) used a Fender strat. 'Freebird' clearly shows the use of a Gibson Firebird in the second break. This is not the same as an Explorer which has regular humbuckers; the Firebird has slender single-coil Alnico-type pickups with a distinctive sound. Also, 'Sweet Home Alabama' clearly indicates the use of a Telecaster or else an old-style (50's) Strat on the bridge pickup. I believe the Les Paul/Explorer/Strat combo to be typial of live shows rather than what the songs were recorded with.
