Paul has been known to be a fan of the Norwegian G-Sharp guitars for some time now. He’s using several models on the farewell tour, and you can see Magne and Morten also using them on “Move To Memphis” in this YouTube clip (and in Corina’s picture that I posted yesterday).
The official G-Sharp website has recently been updated with some info about this. It also mentions a-ha’s rumoured final single, which is “soon to be released” according to the site:
“a-ha’s PAUL WAAKTAAR SAVOY and MORTEN HARKET join the G# league!
Paul has the whole range of G# guitars and accessories, and he is so pleased with the G# products that he uses a G# guitar on all guitar tracks on a-ha’s soon to be released latest song!
Morten has one Natural Mahogany, and one Antique White G#.
We are very proud that Paul is using the G# guitar on three songs on stage during the ongoing a-ha “Ending On a High Note” tour: “Summer Moved On”, “Crying In The Rain” and “Early Morning”.“
On the same topic, here’s some info about the Norwegian music shop Lydkilden getting Paul an endorsement deal with guitar pedal manufacturer T-Rex Engineering not too long ago.
Paul’s current selection of T-Rex pedals include Mudhoney, Tremster, Bass Juice, Room-Mate, Squeezer and Comp-Nova.
