In a recent interview with Neville Marten for Guitarist, Lee Dickson said of this guitar "...I cleaned it up one day at the Albert Hall because Eric often likes a gut string guitar to warm up with, and left it in his dressing room for a couple of weeks. He really liked it and played it and it's been on the sessions for a couple of records."
