"One of my favorite things from Europe's latest 2DVD release is the 2nd DVD
which contains a segment on band equipment. On it, all of the members, sans
JT, show and talk about their on-stage equipment. John Norum is profiled
first on this segment. Here is his equipment for the Start From the Dark
Tour:

Guitars:

-1978 Les Paul. Maple Neck w/Seymour Duncan Pickups. This is his main backup
guitar.
-1957 Custom Shop. All Mahagony w/EMG Active Pickups. This is his main
guitar.
-1974 Les Paul. 3 piece Mahagony neck. Uses this guitar for about 7 songs in
the set that require D-drop tuning.
-1980 Les Paul. This guitar is only used for two songs. It's super-light
(2Kg). Tuning is real low. E string to B, A string to F.

Amps:

-2 Marshall JCM 800 50 watts. The only modification is changing of tubes to
KT-88's instead of EL-34's.
