In this photo from a performance at the Lincoln Center, Frank can be seen playing his signature model Benedetto archtop guitar.
When discussing his journey to the Thorell guitar he currently plays, Frank mentions this gutiar as well: “I have been playing guitar for close to forty years now. The first 20 years, I was playing on a 58 D’Angelico New Yorker. The next 20 years on Benedetto’s. From now on I play the new FV model built by Ryan Thorell. It produces the tone I want and the feel and look are so artful.” (http://thorellguitars.com/guitars/arch-tops/fv-studio/)
