That would have been pretty disastrous for the space time continuum I guess, the 10 string is from '92 :-)
Those big hits were done with a Hamer 12 string.

In the Reverb ad vid he says he took the 10 string with him on tour, but I never saw a picture of him with it. (must have been in 92/93, since he switched to Spector in '94)

Haha! Point taken. I actually thought it was a 12er, but when you mentioned the 10 string, I figured that was it. I thought he went straight to Sadowsky. I don't recall him with a Spector, but I didn't really follow them after the Black album.

Sorry for the double post. The site has been glitchy for me the past couple of days.

The white PP Spoiler/Persuader indeed, thanx! I'm getting older (and apparently need a list like this to remember) :-)
so that's the fretless and the white one sold through Wolfe guitars, I'm pretty sure there was another one.

He briefly had a signature model with Spector: https://reverb.com/en-nl/item/83803117-1994-spector-jn-5-owned-by-jason-newsted?show_sold=true
