Guitarists thought Isaak's main electric guitar is a Gretsch 6120, however he revealed in a 2002 interview with Acoustic Guitar that it is in fact a one-of-a-kind Gibson: "For my electric, ?. People told me they thought it was a White Falcon, but it's not. It's just a white Gibson. I don't think they ever manufactured any of the things. They strung up this one prototype, scratched their heads, and said, 'Huh. Give it to Isaak".?
Isaak's longtime producer, Erik Jacobsen, was instrumental in his sound for 15 years. But he ceased working with Jacobsen on his 2001 album, Always Got Tonight.
