The innovative British guitarist Bill Nelson (Be-Bop Deluxe, Bill Nelson's Red Noise) and Gabrels together released a quite different experimental guitar-duo album, Fantastic Guitars, independently in 2014. Instruments Guitars: Gabrels has used different guitars at varied phases in his musical career, selecting instruments to suit the music. He has favored Steinberger guitars, the Parker Fly, and Fernandes Guitars, but also plays Gibson Guitars such as the Les Paul and the Flying V, as well as Fender's Stratocaster. He has often chosen less well-known makers, explaining in interviews that he prefers a guitar without a set history and with which he is free to create sounds of his own imagination. In 2008, Gabrels began playing Reverend guitars, designed by Reverend Musical Instruments, now of Toledo, Ohio. Gabrels and Reverend have since collaborated to develop a series of Reverend Reeves Gabrels signature model guitars. The first featured at the winter 2010 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California. An update, the Reverend Reeves Gabrels II (RG2) was released at NAMM in Nashville in 2012. The Reeves Gabrels Spacehawk made its debut at NAMM, winter 2014. The Reeves Gabrels Dirtbike, a single-pickup model, came out in July 2017.

In response to questions about his guitars, Gabrels wrote several Notes posted to his Facebook Musician page describing the guitars played with the Cure and explaining how he uses them to suit the music of the songs for which he chooses them.
