Joe Walsh began using a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe as his main guitar around 1971, which is evident from numerous recorded performances from that year. He modified the guitar by installing Les Paul Custom pickups and a pickguard, replacing the original mini factory ones. According to Sweetwater, which currently owns the guitar after receiving it as a gift from Joe Walsh, he used this specific instrument to compose "Rocky Mountain Way." The inspiration reportedly came while he was mowing his lawn and admiring the view of the mountains from his home in Colorado.
