Microphone stand of Jon

I apologize if this has been discussed before. I've been wondering if the mic stand has been the same since 1986? At several concerts, I noticed that they took it out very carefully like a museum piece

Don't know if it's the exact same make as the ones he used in the 80's, they seem to have gotten a bit sturdier since '05. I know there's at least 3 of them, and travel with Jon's guitars. If the crew handles them very carefully it's likely because musicians are notoriously superstitious about everything that has to do with the show and what they wear and what they use. Including guitars used in specific songs and their placing and even what they wear depending on what day the show falls in.

I guess if Jon were to suddenly use a normal black mic stand he'd be psyched out and unable to feel comfortable ....
