Takamine

The house lights go down and the excitement level goes up until it’s almost off the charts.

Just as the stage lights come on, the first familiar guitar hook of “Take it Easy” sings clearly through the PA and the Eagles lift off on another flight to a hotel in California and back. The guitar in the hands of Glenn Frey is the same one that he’s played for nearly 20 years. It’s a Takamine known to the crew as simply, “Glenn #1.”
