Title: I know it's not a Larrivee, but it sure looks like one!

The Eagles, with Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt in 1974 (so Larrivees DID exist)...

The guitar Jackson Browne is playing sure looks like a Larrivee, although I'm sure it's not:

You get a good look at the headstock at 4:23 (when Linda is in the shot, but you see the headstock of JB's guitar)... looks like a stylized "O" on the headstock, almost like an Olson, only I don't think there were Olson's back in '74...

...anyone know what he's playing?

(Cool version of the song, too - Bernie's lead is right on!)

Sure looks like one. Worst version of that song I've ever heard though, as far as I'm concerned that is. Usually love Ronstadt but shut up Linda. Hate the clappers!  :roll

Yeah, the Martin looks like a D-35 (bound fingerboard dreadnought); a fairly common choice in the early-mid '70's (Jim Croce and many others also played one).

Martin has a white bound fretboard, so D-35
Guild is an F47  (6 string jumbo, Chesterfield logo, block inlays)

Browne's guitar sure has a lot of Larrivee Design cues.  I don't recognize the headstock logo though.
Headstock logi is a stylized open "O".  Not Olson, and not in the guitar-list logo reference either.
