I had the ply version of their D-28 copy back in the mid '70s and it was a heck of a guitar for the price point, even with that laminated top. After getting it, I finally realized what those Martin look-alikes were in all the Eagles' onstage photos.
I always assumed they used them because they were good sounding, well built guitars that weren't so expensive you felt they needed to be babied when touring. But I guess without asking Glenn Frey himself, we may never know.
