It's a Godin, which is an acoustic-electric. I used it a lot in the early 90s but now I tend to use it only on "Sunnyside Of The Street". It has a better "cut" than the Martin I otherwise use. I use a Telecaster as my main guitar with The Radiators, though nothing so grand as a '72 model.
I love Godins, don't you? I have a mandolin of it and two of my pupils have an electric guitar from them. They're lovely to play!
They're great for live work and if our front-of-house sound man Paul Scully had his way, the Godin would again be my main guitar. But on the downside, they lack the acoustic response you get from a real live Martin Dreadnought.
. Good luck wit hthe rest of your gigs. Thousands sounded great on the bootleg of last Friday haha
Out of the 5 times I've photographed the shows over the last few years, I thought the lighting was the best it's ever been.
