Well, he started with an Epiphone electric archtop, and some of the last guitars he used in concerts were Korean Samick 355 copies...his well known parsimony probably made such cheaper alternative guitars attractive...!
Also, when his tuning got really bad on stage (and for Chuck, his tuning on stage was often way out!) he would grab another guitar - usually from whoever was playing guitar in his pickup backing bands...there are clips of him 'borrowing' a Fender Strat, a Gibson reverse Firebird etc so that he could carry on playing...
