Rory bought this Washburn Tanglewood guitar to use as an alternative to his Martin D-35 in the early 1980s. He played it live on his Jinx album tour dates and was filmed with it for an interview and onstage for his show at the Oberrheinhalle, Offenburg, Germany, 16th January 1982. Rory also used it for recording the tracks 'Seven Days' and 'Loanshark Blues' on the 1987 Defender album.
