Joe used a Fender Telecaster for his parts of the song and the solo. Don Felder played a Gibson Les Paul for the electric parts and solo and used a 12-string Takamine acoustic guitar with a DeArmond soundhole pickup that went through a Leslie rotating speaker to do the acoustic intro pieces that start out the song and continue throughout most of the song. I'm not sure what guitar Glenn Frey played on the song but I know it was probably a 12-string acoustic as well with a soundhole pickup probably or perhaps mic'd. Don Felder didn't use the white Gibson doubleneck EDS-1275 until they started playing the song live so he wouldn't have to switch between a 12-string acoustic and a Les Paul. The Doubleneck was set to have the 12-string neck go to one output jack going to a Leslie speaker and the 6-string neck going to his pedalboard then to his amp. Hope this helps!

In good condition? Maybe $7.00
I believe Don Felder played the first portion on an double neck SG/12string with Joe Walsh taking over with is supposed to have been a Les Paul in the second portion, and both play for the harmonizing at the end of the solo. Personally, it sounds like the first part is played on a gnarly-toned Fender Strat, though that may be due to the phase shifter thinning out the tone.
It is the Beverly Hills Hotel. (I know this from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.)
