It wasn't just vintage guns Jackson purchased in order to make the score. He also picked up some classic instruments, as well. And not just any instruments - he bought the instruments used by legendary session musicians The Wrecking Crew.

The group was founded in the late 1950s by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members Earl Palmer and Hal Blaine, as well as Ray Pohlman, who also recorded with a diverse range of artists - country legends Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard to crooner Mel Torme to rock bands like The Monkees and The Turtles. They most notably worked for producer and notable crazy person Phil Spector. Other members included Glen Campbell, Al Casey and, oddly enough, Sonny Bono.
