I don't believe I've seen Felder or Walsh play Takamine guitars, but I'm not sure.
    If you re-read my post above, Felder specifically refers to the Takamine that he smashed up at Wrong Beach, in his book. Althugh he also says it's the guitar he used on Lyin' Eyes, a song on which I thought he played lead (electric) guitar.

    I'm sure I've seen Joe play Takamines but I need to find a photo. I guess when I said 'they' I meant Glenn & Don Henley.

    If Felder was so unhappy with having to play Takamines, he could have left the band.
