In the 1977 tour, Jimmy used a Tele to play this song. I’m not a guitar expert in any way, so I was just wondering why…particularly given he used the LP when he played with the Black Crowes.

He used it because he'd had it fitted with a 'B' bender that allowed him to do some pedal-steel style string bends. He obviously invested a fair bit of time learning how to use it well, and it became his main guitar whilst he was in 'The Firm'.

In the early 90's he had a Les Paul fitted with a 'B' bender too, and since then that's had a lot more use than the tele... he must prefer the sound/feel of the Les Paul.
