Joe Walsh plays a Glenn Frey 230 on the second disc. And it sounds great!

Jeff, I saw Walsh play the 230 in concert about a year or so ago with the Eagles. Sounded really good. He used it on 'Life's Been Good' and one other which presently I can't recall.

If memory serves, I think he played it on the Hell Freezes Over DVD on Pretty Maids All In A Row. I'd have to double check but, I think that's right. That guitar does sound good.

I think you're right, Scott. It's been a while since I've watched it, but I do have a distant memory of pointing at the TV and yelling "Rickenbacker!" to my wife. It's all part of this cunning plan I have to manipulate her into saying "go on, order your 330 MG".

Heck, it worked for the 650 :-)

There's also some old blues guy on Crossroads and one of his guitar players is playing what looks to be a 381. It's only a brief shot.

That "old blues guy" is Robert Lockwood Jr. He lives and performs quite often in my area. I have seen him several times many years ago, before I knew just how famous he is in the blues world. He is the last direct connection to Robert Johnson. I don't recall who made his guitar, but the top part is reminiscent of a Capri/early 360.

Do a google search and you will find a LOT on him!

I don't recall what he was playing on the Crossroads DVD, but unless my memory is totally AWOL, Robert Lockwood Jr. used to play a semi-acoustic Hagstrom 12-string (Viking?) with 6 strings on it.

My mistake - I just watched Crossroads again, and his guitar (whatever it is) is definitely strung as a 12. He used to play a Hagstrom, of that I'm sure.
