"Then I played a bunch of T Bone’s old Gibsons. There were a couple of Nick Lucas models and an old Roy Smeck from the ’30s. T Bone has a stable of guitars, so I got to experiment a bit on the record. Changing instruments can really bring a different vibe and voice to a song. In the past I might have played a part on my D-18 and we would have tried mixing it differently to get a certain sound, whereas T Bone goes straight to the source and suggests just the right guitar." - Chris Eldridge of the Punch Brothers when talking about their album "The Phosphorescent Blues" which was produced by Burnett in 2015.

Elvis poses with his very rare 1957 Gretsch 6022 Rancher with a unique combination of features: humpback fret markers, double gold lucite pickguards, no "G" branded on the upper bout of the soundboard, and horseshoe inlay headstock.
The promo photo was used as the cover on his Oliver's Army single release.
