Along with this photo, Lewis said about this guitar "I drove, like, four hours in New Hampshire to get that guitar and I plugged it in and strummed one chord on it, unplugged it, put it back in the case, and walked out of the store with it. There’s something about those old Gary Rossington reissues that — I don’t know if they wired things differently, I don’t know what’s different — but man, that is one fabulous sounding batch of guitars." - Source.
