gearbasher Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I was flipping around on the TV and landed on an old "Dolly" show from 1976. Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were the guest stars, so I had to watch. Can anyone ID the guitar in this photo? Sorry for the quality, but it's the best one I can find on the internet. Seems like I saw a thread with someone asking about a similar headstock logo. But, I can't find it and/or I lost too many brain cells and I'm imagining it. Here's Linda playing it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukec88 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 It looks to me like heavy inlayed custom Martin. She mostly played Martins. I dont know the model number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first impression, But, it looks like a fancy "W" on the headstock. Here's a youtube clip with a few shots of the guitar. https://youtu.be/FdaCnrz1QhU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalex Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I believe it's a Mark Whitebook guitar. He was a California luthier and his guitars were played by the likes of James Taylor during the 70's. Apparently he retired early due to allergies from sawdust and lacquer. His guitars command a big price these days as he made so few. Here's JT with a Dred and parlor models both sounds great.

MissouriPicker Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 That pic of Emmy Lou with her apples has to be from the 80's. Saw her with her "Hot Band" in the mid-80's and she wore a sheer blue top like that white one and blue jeans that must have been sprayed-on. Good Lord she was beautiful. You couldn't take your eyes off of her (She's still a striking and good-looking woman). Then after about a dozen songs she changed into a dark grey dress covered with roses. Had on her cowboy hat, boots, and all night she played that black J200. What a show and what a babe! What a band!....... That is a cool guitar she's playing in the pic. Most of the time she's playing one Gibson model or another, usually a super jumbo model. A Martin now and then....The talent shown in that pic is on the mind-boggling side, especially when compared to the garbage we're seeing/hearing so much of today with big name entertainment.
