Not much is known about this guitar, apart from what can be deducted from the footage. The guitar was finished in black, it had two full-sized humbuckers, and a non-locking tremolo.

Eddie & Sammy perform at Neil Young’s “Bridge School Benefit” concert, at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA on 6 November 1993. This is the show and date that Eddie played the Parker.
