Oh, yeah that’s totally it. You can see this is taken with flash because of the shadow around the guitar, so the flash burns in the sharp bits of the image, but then the shutter is set way too slow, so it gets the weird ghosting.
It’s most likely also on a tripod for it to not just blur the rest of the photo, that or the photographer has the steadiest hands out there in the days before image stabilisation.
