Joe Walsh

Joe likely received the Ric 230 GF after Glenn Frey (his Eagles bandmate) decided to give it to him when he was given the signature model from Rickenbacker. He is known for using the guitar mainly for slide. You can also refer to the "History of the Eagles" documentary on Netflix or any other source to actually see him playing it in the studio for "Hell Freezes Over".

“She bought me a ’58 Goldtop, and she found me a ’53 Broadcaster, from before Fender named it Telecaster. And a ’57 Gretsch 6120 like the one I gave Pete! So I’m getting some vintage guitars on the wall.”

He used this one for the recording of "Analog Man", as said in interview for Vintage Guitar:

"Which guitars did you use on the album?"

"Well, let’s see. There’s some new guitars being made, that Mike Campbell from Tom Petty’s band introduced me to – Duesenbergs. I have a couple of ’em – a Double Cat and a DTV Outlaw. They’re like a Les Paul, but a hollowbody with their own vibrato tailpiece. I’ve got one of the radical ones, and it’s pretty nice. They wind their own pickups, which are great, and record great."

Joe is famous for selling his burst to Jimmy Page and then getting it back several years later. It’s known as the Prodigal Sunburst.
