In later solo albums, he emerged as an accomplished jazz player. His guitar collection has been the subject of a book, and his instruments have been exhibited in museums.

Through it all, his favorite instrument has always been his 1964 Gibson ES-175, and his signature guitar is modeled after his personal guitar.
