Vicki Peterson's first guitar was a plastic guitar from Sears. She “got serious” when, at age nine, she became the proud owner of an Electro ES-17 guitar and an 8-watt Rickenbacker amp. Her next few guitars would be a double cutaway Univox Ripper, a 1972 [[Gibson Les Paul Custom]] and a 1967 [[Fender Stratocaster]], which she used on many of the Bangles early recordings. She has also been known to use Carvin guitars and amps, and by the time the Bangles reformed, Vicki also used a Gibson mandolin, a pink Fender Telecaster Thinline, several [[Daisy Rock Girl Guitars]], and [[Gretsch]] guitars. When her 72 Les Paul Custom was stolen, Vicki eventually replaced it with a burgundy Les Paul Custom.
Vicki's primary amps were Carvin amps, as well as a Marshall combo, a [[Fender Twin]], a 1965 [[Fender Deluxe Reverb]], and a [[Fender Super Reverb]], but as for pedals, she used an [[Ibanez Tube Screamer]]. She lists among her influences [[Paul Simon]], [[Bonnie Raitt]], [[Joni Mitchell]], [[George Harrison]], and [[Nancy Wilson (rock musician)|Nancy Wilson]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://30a.com/vicki-peterson-songwriter-profile/ |title=Vicki Peterson on Fronting the Bangles |date=January 1, 2015|access-date=March 3, 2023}}</ref>
