John used this guitar for the recording of “War of My Life” and “Assassin” on the Battle Studies album. In the video, he plays it for a live performance of "War of My Life".
In this photo from the Mylo Xyloto sessions we see Buckland recording with a Moog E1. This guitar is known for its unique onboard sustaining technology and was likely used in creating the soaring lead tone on Princess of China.
When Laurie Anderson talked to Eno for Interview Magazine, they had the following exchange:
ANDERSON: So are the horns on Lux real?
ENO: No.
ANDERSON: I thought those were real, far away horns.
ENO: Yeah, it does sound like that. There are real strings in there, though they’re all played by one person, my friend Nell Catchpole. There’s also an instrument called the Moog Guitar. It’s a fantastic instrument.
ANDERSON: Oh, I’ve heard about that.
ENO: It’s an amazing instrument. It’s a completely new instrument, actually. It’s called a guitar, but the people who have started using it to do interesting things are moving far away from any character guitars have had traditionally. The only instruments on the album are piano, strings, this Moog Guitar, and some synthesizers. But the synthesizer sounds I was using are ones that I’ve been working on for quite a few years, and they can sometimes sound like they might be horns.
