Mystery Guitar - Can You Name That Guitar?

LesbianWithAGun

Can you name this guitar?


If I were to get an acoustic..
I want to buy it if not..
The same one (exact same make/model).
But in order to even begin shopping for one, I'd have to know what it is...

This is the best picture I have of it, but it looks nice.
It's seen from an old video so I highly doubt this guitar is still for sale.
As seen catching my eye on

From 2015.

This is them

before I phone them up (again) I'd like to know if they still have this, so that means knowing what to call it.

Alnico

It's a Taylor.

I'm trying to ID the model for you now...

Alnico

Taylor 618E Grand Auditorium ?

Nice one Mark!

I'm actually wrong or I think I am.

The 618E doesn't have neck binding and that guitar in the video does.

The 'Taylor' giveaways are the scratchplate shape, the bridge shape and the black headstock with that silver logo, in fact, it was the logo shape I recognised before the word 'Taylor'.

Those fretboard markers are the ones I'm pretty sure about that but looking at Taylor's website I can't find one that has both those markers *and* neck binding.

The colour could easily be a limited run thing, it could be a limited run for different woods etc which is how *maybe* it is a 618E variant that does have neck binding.

I think this needs someone who's really into Taylors and would know which models variants have these details.

I hope *some* of that helps.

I'm talking about this one seen hanging in the back that I want, with the F holes.


However, that Taylor you found could be the guitar that guitarist is playing on @Alnico ;;

That one on the right? It looks like a cello.

My mistake.
Clearly today is an Alnico I day and not an Alnico V day !

I hate photobucket.

Even I can't see it with photobucket.
..

Some interesting edits that was, maybe I'd hit preview in the future but...
It's third from the right, that modest, yet sexy looking/smart thing/with the tailpiece and that bridge at an angle slightly, looks like a Gibson maybe? It's like... IDK what that is? Gold? Yellow? Not yellow, but, not not yellow either, like bright looking guitar.
That one.

It's the ? signature model. Ideal for playing cover versions of The Mysterians "96 Tears".

Okay

Went to the store's site and they have only got two archtops for sale: the National Californian natural & the Vega O'Dell. I looks like the former to me.

Their website, I'm hoping, is only displaying a fraction of their guitars...
I did a comparison to Macari's on Denmark Street Vs. Macari's website to see how much makes it on the website of this place I know to assess the water to the likelihood of this place having everything they've got on their website.

Also, wow, good detective work...

This, I'm not so sure, but it is close; this bridge is angled different and headstock looks a little fat.

Still, looks more like it than this Epiphone I've found and can rule out;

I'd probably just go there with my smartphone (UK phone I plan to have unlocked so I can use it out there on a local sim)... Get data, get online, use it (if they have no wifi) and... Show them this video and point to it to ask them what it could be.
If I go there and I see it (I don't plan to go until 2018) and I see it; I'd ask to demo it as I can see bringing this guitar back to London with me.

This has been here for at least 3 years, hopefully it won't be too late for this guitar in Oregon.

it's impossible to judge but i think it's a Kay-made 60s archtop, like this one - they would have slightly different headstock shapes and scracthplates under diff brands
