Gary was seen using this guitar during a concert at the Royal Albert Hall, London in 1992 on the song The Sky is Crying, and in 1993 during the Live Blues concert on the song Too Tired.
According to the official spec sheet, the guitar featured a light-blue finish on a semi-hollow Telecaster style alder body with a solid spruce top. The neck is maple with ebony fretboard, abalone dot markers, and a stainless steel nut. The pickups in it are EMG SAs, with a 7-way, which allows for some unique pickup configurations.
It is worth noting that this is probably the second Fritz Brothers guitar that Gary bought, the first one being a sunburst Roy Buchanan Bluesmaster.

The Roy Buchanan Bluesmaster is an active guitar with 3 EMG single coil picks ups it has an incredible 17 Switch. First there is the normal 7 Switch then through a push pull you could ad another 7 Switches and on a control knob you had 3 more switches for a total of 17 switches. The guitar has an active mid boost of 6 Db when needed to be louder than a Humbucker guitar. A Humbucker guitar is about 3 decibels louder than a single coil guitar. It had a stainless but which made it sustain forever, an angled pocket for easier upper fret work. The active electronics. Inside the guitar. Are incredibly complex. It has a trebble bleeder. Standard sound is that of a Fender Stratocaster.
