    What impressed me about that was:
    Regarding the almost Spartan simplicity of the instrument, Frey said it was important to him to keep the guitar affordable as well as extremely functional. The key for him was sound and usefulness. He explained that, “the finish and inlay and bells and whistles don’t have anything to do with that. We took a pretty straightforward approach to it; the only thing it has is the little ‘GF’ on the headstock. I’ve had ten or twelve of these in my hands, and they all sounded great and needed very little set up.”

    It sounds so much like what he was saying about the Eagles show back in the 70s.

    Pippin - Thank You for the article. I too have always loved the story - first saw it many years ago. GA - very cool that you have one of those guitars.
    Sadly, musical talent is not something I was blessed with but I love listening to those who are.

    A memory from Thomas Sullivan about his friend, which brought a tear to y eye: https://www.facebook.com/thomas.sull...48?pnref=story
    Also:
    It’s good to know that the tsunami of music, the legend, and the humble man (yes, he was) are still resonating his presence.

    Here's a TMZ article from yesterday talking about Glenn leaving his entire estate to Cindy. I don't know why this is being talked about so long after his death, but I guess it has some importance, or they wouldn't have posted it.
