In this Getty Images archive photo dated July 01, 1988 and credited to David Montgomery, Tracy can be seen with her vintage D-18E. The two distinctive pickups and the placement of switches and knobs place it as an 18E, rather than the 28E, which was similar but had 4 knobs.

Additionally, you can see the artist perform with the D-18E in this YouTube clip from her famous, career-catapulting Wembley Stadium performance from June 11, 1988.
