Do we know which guitars were used for what album ?

Stef originally used his signature ESP 6 strings on the first 3 albums. Then for S/T he switched to the SRC-7 and B-7. For Diamond Eyes and the new album he used his B-8's as well as some new custom 8-string ESP Telecasters, similar to his T-7 model.

Do we know which guitars were used for what album ?

Thats kind of tricky to answer, 'cause if you check out the B-sides & Rareties DVD you can see that Stef plays Battle-axe on a 6-String Viper LTD/ESP guitar. However...

I remember reading somewhere that he began playing Jackson guitars with Floyd Rose bridge (I think Like Linus was recorded with that guitar), then ESP gave him... or maybe he bought it who knows... a Page Hamilton (Helmet) signature model (An ESP Horizon with Floyd Rose bridge... you can see it on the 7 words music video) but he had problems with the floating bridge system 'cause if one string breaks the whole guitar goes out of tune and he had to stop the songs during live shows to get a back up guitar 'cause he was the only guitarist on the band at that time.

Then he switched to a fixed bridge version of the Horizon model with customized controls (Bored music video) And during the Around the fur Era he moved the pickup selector to its "signature" location right below the bridge and that's how he got his "signature model" i guess.

That configuration remained unchanged until The Selftitled Era when he began to use Baritone 7 strings guitars (28" fingerboard scale) and he replaced all of his 6 strings with regular scale 7 strings guitar (25.5").

During the Saturday Night Wrist Era Stef got his 7 Strings Telecaster Baritone guitar, it was down tuned to basically match the low end sound of an 8 strings guitar.

Few years later he began to use 8 strings guitars and Eros was being recorded with that. Then Diamond Eyes surfaced and "apparently"  for the first time in Deftones history he used the same guitar tuning from the previous album.

We have to wait until the new album comes out and see (or hear) if he didnt down tuned his 8 strings guitar for this new album. Although there are pictures of Stef with an 8 strings telecaster im not sure if he used that guitar on the new album but he got a new set of pickups for his signature B8... and thats all i can say about that.

PS. I guess im a guitar geek.

Adrenaline - Standard E
Around The Fur - Drop C#
White Pony - Drop C
Self Titled - Drop G#
Saturday Night Wrist - Drop F# (on a 7-String)

Mr. bojosoto explained everything pretty much. BUT!

Chino began to play guitar on White Pony, Im not sure but i think his first guitar was the red ESP/LTD Viper that he played on White Pony Release Party show (probably because of Stef's ESP/LTD endorsement) later he got his famous red Gibson SG and he never went back to his Viper... probably kept it as a back up guitar. On this album Chino and Stef used Drop C tunings.

During the Selftitled Era Chino used Drop C# (or Drop Db if want) and Stef Standard G#, Chino got more guitars, if you watch the Rareties DVD you can see 5 guitars on his Rack (the red LTD Viper, a Sunburst Telecaster, a Green Gibson SG and 2 others i cant identify) but kept the red SG as his main guitar and he used it for all S/T songs. Also you can see another Gibson SG with natural mate finish when they performed at the Wembley Arena in London, it was used for songs from the White Pony album (He threw that guitar at the end of that show). And another White SG used on some live shows (MTV icon The Cure, live at Good Call)

For Saturday Night Wrist things changed again, Stef used Drop F# and Chino used Drop D (and apparently Drop D# on a few songs.. like beware) and he got more guitars, his main guitars for SNW were a natural gloss/orange Fender Stratocaster with a white pickguard but painted black... you can see the black paint wearing off (Hole in the earth live on Conan) and a couple of sunburst Fender Jaguars used for pretty much all White Pony/Sefltitled songs.

For Eros, im not sure but i think Chino was using a white Telecaster, about tunings... after further investigation i think Stef used Drop E on his 8 strings  'cause there is a clip of him jamming with Chi and Abe (Eros Clip 3) where his guitar has a super fat low end sound only achieved with that tuning (tested on guitar pro)... but who knows.

During Diamond Eyes era, Chino went back to his Gibson SG using different tunings (Drop D and Drop C), Stef used Standard F#. And guess what... Chino got more guitars, the briefly used Eastwood semihollow and another Gibson SG but this time black.

For the new album there is a pictures of a Red fender Telecaster and a new fender jaguar (i think it was a special baritone series)... i cant remember the color but i think it was black. The tunings, im not sure about that either but somebody said that Chino was using a special tuning, a combination of standard c# with the lower string dropped to A.

Nice chronology of their guitar history... Everything seems correct.. For the new album though Chino is tuning his guitar for Rosemary to Drop C pretty much, but dropping the bottom C down to an A#.. Very strange tuning but i'm interested for sure

[dr.dre]

i know chino used a ltd 301 viper and a esp standard viper,
and has at least two electric green amps.
i think he started using orange w/ team sleep, i dont want to believe its a dual terror hes using now.
also, stef used a sg as backup guitar in the early days along with hughes kettner amps.
i remember he had a few zvex pedals around snw era, i think he combined the ff + machine
