“I’m thinking, ‘I’m in trouble now…’ And then, Dickey goes, ‘No.’ I go, ‘What do you mean?’ ‘That’s not the good one. Go in the bedroom and grab the good one’”: Tesla’s Frank Hannon on borrowing one of Dickey Betts’ prized Gibson SGs

Frank Hannon member of the band Tesla performs live on stage at Allianz Parque on December 13, 2017 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Despite being best known for his ’80s hard rock sensibilities with Tesla (not that Tesla), Frank Hannon's upcoming instrumental guitar album – Reflections – features more Western-tinged and soulful bottleneck slide guitar musings that were recorded in the wake of life upheaval and personal loss, including that of his late father-in-law, Dickey Betts.

Therefore, it comes as no surprise that one of the guitars Hannon wields on this record is one of Betts' own: the prototype of the Dickey Betts “From One Brother to Another” Gibson SG, released in 2011 – which, in turn, was a replica of the ’61 SG that Dickey would hand over to Duane [Allman] during live shows.
