132_104	The Moridira Hurricane guitar he used is called a Limited Edition LTD.2 model, believed to be made
132_105	in Japan. (It is not a Hurricane EX series, which appears to be lower quality.) His LTD.2 was a
132_106	"strat copy", but with a HSS pickup setup, a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard, and unique Floyd Rose
132_107	where you do not have to cut the strings. For pickups, Becker said on his message board: "I just
132_108	used the stock pickups it came with." The pickups were Japanese-made pickups.
132_109	While Becker is pictured with a blue Hurricane guitar on the cover of Perpetual Burn, he did not
132_110	use this blue guitar on the album. Differences on this guitar from his first Hurricane include
132_111	DiMarzio pickups, a maple fretboard, and 24 frets. (Marty Friedman recorded the whammy parts of his
132_112	song "Dragon Mistress" using Becker's blue Hurricane, one of the rare times Marty has recorded
132_113	whammy work.)
132_114	For the second Cacophony album, Becker switched over to Carvin gear, utilizing 2 DC Series models,
132_115	one in a trans blue finish with flamed maple top, and another one in a solid burgundy finish (This
132_116	is the guitar seen in the famous "Yo Yo" video from the 1989 Japan tour with Cacophony). Both have
132_117	double cutaway bodies, Kahler locking tremolo systems, six in line machine heads and two Carvin
132_118	humbucker pickups. He used these up until he was diagnosed with ALS in 1989.
132_119	During the sessions for A Little Ain't Enough, Becker used various Carvin, Ibanez, ESP and Valley
132_120	Arts guitars, as well as a Les Paul on some tracks and a Gibson acoustic for select things. Becker
132_121	has also been pictured with a few Hamer superstrats as well. From 1989–1991, Becker used various
132_122	guitars, most notably a Peavey custom model with the numbered fretboard markers. Also used were an
132_123	Ibanez Custom Shop guitar (probably based on an RG), a custom from Performance Guitars, a couple of
132_124	various unknown Strat style guitars and a black Hurricane with three single coil pickups.
132_125	Becker has allowed Paradise Guitars USA to release a Jason Becker signature guitar. It is similar
132_126	in appearance to the numbered Peavey, but with a different headstock shape.
132_127	Becker used various types of amplifiers in his music. Before joining Cacophony, he used a small
132_128	Peavey Studio Pro 40 with the older style Peavey vertical silver stripes on the grille cloth.
132_129	During his early days Becker was also seen with a red Marshall JCM800 head and 4x12 cabinet.
132_130	For the first Cacophony album, Becker used an ADAMP1 preamp. He recorded Perpetual Burn with a
132_131	borrowed 1970s Marshall half stack and a BOSS Super Overdrive and Cacophony's second album was
132_132	recorded with a Carvin X100B stack.
132_133	For the David Lee Roth album A Little Ain't Enough, Becker used "eight different Marshall amps." He
132_134	also used the SX300H head at some point during that era. After Cacophony, Becker used various amps,
132_135	including a "Fender M80", an unknown Marshall amp, an ADA Preamp and possibly the aforementioned
132_136	Peavey combo.
132_137	Becker typically used Dean Markley and SIT strings.
132_138	Paradise Guitar
132_139	In 2008 Paradise Guitars worked with Becker to design a Jason Becker signature guitar. The design
132_140	is based on the Peavey with colored number fret inlays. Features include an alder body, maple neck
132_141	with steel 2-way truss rod, maple 16" radius fingerboard, 24 jumbo thin frets with colored number
132_142	fret marker inlays, black Floyd Rose Pro Style floating Tremolo with Floyd Rose Tremolo stop,
132_143	Sperzel red satin tuners, 14-degree tilt-back headstock with black Paradise logo and matching
132_144	tremolo and electronics plates. The pickups are DiMarzio pickups; a PAF Pro-Custom in the neck
132_145	colored yellow and red, a DP116 HS-2 in the middle colored green, and a Tone Zone-Custom in the
132_146	bridge colored pink and blue. These colored pickups complement the colored inlays and seem to give
132_147	the guitar a rainbow effect. There is also a red five-way switch and purple 1–11 volume knob.
132_148	Kiesel/Carvin Tribute Guitars
132_149	In 2012, Carvin worked with Becker to design the JB200C Jason Becker Tribute, a guitar that is
132_150	modeled after the original DC200 guitar he used toward the latter part of his career. The guitar
132_151	features an Alder body with flamed maple top, maple neck with a flamed maple fingerboard, a Floyd
132_152	Rose tremolo, jumbo frets, 2 humbuckers, active electronics, and comes standard in a transparent
132_153	blue finish.
132_154	In 2015, Kiesel Guitars, which took over Carvin's guitar manufacturing, worked with Becker to
132_155	release a second tribute model, called the JB24 "Numbers" guitar. It is the third incarnation of
132_156	his "Numbers" guitar, previously released by Peavey and Paradise guitars, and is also one of the
132_157	first Carvin guitars to feature a 24-fret bolt-on neck, alongside the GH24 Greg Howe signature
132_158	model released in the same year. It features a tung-oiled ash body, maple neck and fingerboard,
132_159	colored number inlays, stainless steel frets, and 3 custom-colored Seymour Duncan pickups
132_160	(Perpetual Burn in the bridge, Vintage Hot Stack in the middle, and Jazz in the neck).
132_161	For the official launch of Becker's signature Seymour Duncan Perpetual Burn Humbucker and the
132_162	Carvin JB24 numbers guitar, Danny Young was chosen as the guitarist for both performances due to
132_163	stylistic resemblance to Jason Becker and Niccolo Paganini. The Perpetual Burn performance was
132_164	played on the Carvin JB200C. These performances led to the widespread notability of Danny Young's
132_165	virtuosity in the guitar community and an authority in the tone and playing style of Jason Becker.
132_166	Documentary film
132_167	A feature-length documentary film about the life of Jason Becker entitled Jason Becker: Not Dead
132_168	Yet, was released in 2012. The film includes interviews with Becker, his family and friends, and
132_169	the various musicians he has worked with, including Marty Friedman, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Richie
132_170	Kotzen, and Steve Hunter. The film was generally well received by fans and critics and won many
132_171	awards.
