One can clearly see that the guitar Fry holds has the saddle height, screw adjustable feature of OP's guitar. Obviously an older pic of Fry-has a 70's vibe. But then, maybe some assistant put some effort into acquiring a period instrument for Frey to sign.Īnd then there's this photo, which appears to be the same model as OP's pics (I think. The guitar in question is obviously not a new model-I think it's a model from the 1970's.

I live here year round, and I have a buddy who every summer sings and records an album to sell to the tourists who come and visit in the summer.
