just Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Any idea what year that guitar might have been made? This might help to identify the player. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody78 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hmmm, tricky to pin down the year, but I believe natural finish versions of this model were available between 2002 - 2009, but you never know as the guitar could have been a one off or custom order before these years. This model was first available in 1979...hopefully someone might be able to pinpoint a year for you. Looks like a groovy player in the photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yeah man, I would have guessed groovier than 1979, if you know what I mean! Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I believe the player pictured is Cornell Dupree, a very prolific session man, especially during the 70's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_Dupree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimR56 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I believe the player pictured is Cornell Dupree Not a bad guess, but I don't think so (facial features... nose, beard, etc... are wrong). I posted the question on a jazz forum, and somebody suggested Michael Howell. I'm not totally convinced, but I'd definitely suggest him before Dupree.

just Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Thanks all for the feedback. Howell looks like a better match, but I can't find many pics online. Maybe I will send him the pic at Legendary sound studios and see what he thinks! It's a friend's photo, a thrift store purchase from NH I believe.
