The Guy playing guitar in the Chase Freedom Card Commercial 2012

When I first saw the Chase Freedom card commercial with a guy playing guitar and singing the song Footloose, I thought it was Kenny Loggins whose the song is by. After looking more carefully though, I realized that it is not.

If you are familiar with the Chase commercials you will know that there is a recurring fictional character called Ben Grant whose mission is to save you money, he is of course the one playing the guitar and singing. His real name though (the name of the actor playing Ben Grant) is Michael Torpey

  1. It looks like the guitar he is playing is Vigier. A rather uncommon and expensive guitar from France. Can anyone confirm?
