In this interview with Premierguitar.com Eldrige admits that he used a 1937 Martin D-18 during the recording sessions for "The Phosphorescent Blues" (2014-2015).

Find it on:

"My D-28 is a wide neck. In ‘39 Martin, switched the spacing, from 1 ¾" to 1 11/16". My D-28 is still a wide neck…"

"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."
