Lynyrd Skynyrd's Ronnie Van Zant's DS 335 Electrovoice Microphone

Lynyrd Skynyrd The Needle And The Spoon video featuring this microphone

Ronnie Van Zant used this Microphone (Serial #18038) on Lynyrd Skynyrd's 1974-1977 tours. Craig Reed (the Band's guitar tech) put tape around the top of the mic so Ronnie would not go past that point and cause feedback.

Provenance: Letter of Authenticity from Craig Reed, Lynyrd Skynyrd's guitar tech, who wrote: "My name is Craig Reed and I met Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1973 and started working with them in 1974. I also survived the plane crash on October 20, 1977. After the crash, I did the Foreigner World Tour in 1978 and another world tour with Journey in 1979. I was the guitar tech for Lynyrd Skynyrd, Foreigner, and Journey. I then worked the Marshall Tucker Band and then Lynyrd Skynyrd until 2006."
