This kind of information is hard to come by, but he used the same Jazzmaster for all three records. It was a ’65 (perhaps a ’66). By Bug, he also had others (at least a brown one, as seen in the Just Like Heaven video), though in any live footage I’ve ever seen from the early years, J is always playing his first one 9the sunburst).
For effects, J used a lot of Electro-Harmonix pedals, since they were out of business by the early 80s. Boutique and vintage equipment wasn’t as in demand and cool back then, so J got most of them cheap. He obviously had a Big Muff. You can also hear an Electric Mistress a lot, and by YLAOM, he had a Clone Theory too. His wah was a Crybaby. Nowindays, J has a huge board. But I really don’t think he had much more than this back then. There’s even an old melody Maker interview where J mentions his pedals, which helped shed light on what he had at the time.
He had Marshalls from the beginning. it’s in all old live footage. Playing as loud as they did, J got a lot of natural overdrive, so i don’t think he had any sort of distortion/overdrive/fuzz pedals other than the Big Muff during the first era.
