 Although it is not made clear in the photograph pictured at left (Rivers had two red SG guitars with one being tuned to E flat while the other was tuned to E) it's possible that this is the E flat guitar before placement of the sticker with the Thai word Farang, meaning "a white foreigner."
-===2010-2014 - Memories Shows, Weezer Cruise, EWBAITE Touring===
-When Weezer returned to its classic formation after the Raditude and early Hurley eras, where Rivers would sing, with Pat and Brian on guitar and an additional hiree touring, Rivers was seen on stage with a Diezel VH4 boutique amplifier, run through a Marshall cabinet. Very expensive but highly sought after, it's a high end amp often associated with metal or otherwise very heavy sounds (James Hetfield of Metallica used one), which scans considering the Mesa amplifiers that Rivers used. The VH4 was modified to say "Weezer" instead of "Diezel", as some of the band's Marshall amps had been in the past.

+===2009-2011 - Raditude - Hurley, Memories Shows, Weezer Cruise===
+Rivers had one of the red SG's painted white, it can be seen by a completely white headstock. Later on it was replaced by two factory painted white SG's.
+For the Memories shows, Rivers used the Gibson SG seen in the past, presumably because both The Blue Album and Pinkerton were recorded largely with Gibson guitars.
+By this time, the Warmoth Strats was kept backstage as backup/practice guitars. But they were never used live until 2012.
+The large "8x10 size" cabs and old "Weezer" labelled Marshall Amps also returned on stage, but were just used as props at a few Memories Shows.
+===2012-2014 - Pre-EWBAITE, EWBAITE Touring===
+When Weezer returned to its classic formation after the Raditude and Hurley eras, Rivers also returned to using his Strats. This time the Seafoam Green being his main with
+the Sonic Blue one as a backup.
+The old Black Warmoth pictured on the Green Album was also used at a Scott & Rivers concert in Japan.
-For the Memories shows, Rivers used the Gibson SG seen in the past, presumably because both The Blue Album and Pinkerton were recorded largely with Gibson guitars. His Surf Green and Daphne Blue Warmoth Stratocasters were used on the Everything Will be Alright In The End tour; the Surf Green guitar being the main one by this point.
 ===2015 - The White Album, Weezer + Panic At The Disco Tour, Pacific Daydream, The Black Album===
-Curiously, part way through the Everything Will Be Alright In The End promotion cycle, Rivers's amplifier and cabinet disappeared from the stage. As he noted in an interview with MusicRadar:
+Curiously, part way through the White Album promotion cycle, Rivers's amplifier and cabinet disappeared from the stage. As he noted in an interview with MusicRadar:
 “I just profiled the setup I was using before. It was the Diezel VH4 - I did all my main crunchy rhythm sounds, plus my crazy sustain lead. There’s also an ultra clean for Say It Ain’t So or Island In The Sun, plus a slightly crunchy tone for Troublemaker. I got everything I need and then over time I started adding things into my lead channel, like an octave lower or a crazy chorus or a little flange. I built all these different sounds, it was really a lot of fun. And all I use beyond that is my Boss tuner!”
