Gallagher Guitar Co. designed a new model especially for Watson

As flatpicker, Doc wa known for his speed, tone and precision. He used a down-up (DUDU) picking style, with down strokes on the downbeat and upstrokes on the epiphone noel gallagher
 upbeats. Doc's flatpicking technique used more arm motion (and less wrist motion) than most players. He also used his little finger as a depth guide for flatpicking. He let it glide on the pickguard when he was picking rather than planting it in one spot. Doc used a traditional tear-shaped medium gauge nylon flatpick (1mm Jim Dunlop). He also used John Pearse phosphor bronze strings (medium and light gauges). But Gilmour was also adept at droning avant-garde improv, as seen in Floyd's Live at Pompeii days, and could be an unexpectedly funky rhythm guitarist, from the slinky riff to "Have a Cigar" to the Chic-like flourishes on "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2." His pioneering use of echo and other effects – initially inspired by original Floyd guitarist Syd Barrett – culminated with his precision use of delay on "Run Like Hell," which directly anticipates the Edge's signature sound.
