According to Lee Dickson, Eric’s guitar technician, he plays an old resonator guitar that was purchased many years ago. It is a composite of two separate resonator guitars. The neck is a Dobro (a brand of resonator guitars) and Eric had the neck fitted to the body. The body type is unknown. The type and gauge strings used by Eric on his dobro are also unknown.
