Danelectro 59 with a single coil pickup, played through a Selmer Thunderbird 100 Watt amplifier... on the Floyd records he also used a fuzz pedal and Binson Echorec (early model) quite extensively for effects.

The Fender was actually a Squire with mirrors glued to it, but he lost it some time before recording the solo records. It may be on the mid '60s recordings. He also played an acoustic guitar on some tracks, but I don't know which model it was.

Here's some further reading.
