j45nick Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Neil Young has been doing these during the lockdown. One interesting thing is the instruments he plays in these. First one is a banjo/uke? Can anyone identify the dread with the unusual headstock and narrow fretboard he plays starting at about 23 minutes in? The guitar is always in shadow, but has a distinctive headstock and block inlays on the fretboard. in the barnyard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 It looks like a Guild D55 to me...probably an early one with the narrower nut, which exaggerates the sweeping lines of the headstock. It sure sounds great...that version of War of Man is gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-livin' the past. This is a pretty nice version, too. (But I think this is a great song no matter how he does it) War of Man Edited May 20, 2020 by j45nick added additional thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Tumbleweed your inner beauty is a peace sign to me, , , has always been a fascinating line. I go with the Guild-theory, , , and then it must be the Hank D-28. Thanks for presenting this film. Neil really is a country man. Wonder if it's back in Redwood. .

I did a search, and it is almost certainly a Guild D-55, which looks like a really nice model. Not cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 While it is a nice thing for him to do, I am afraid that locking me up in quarantine with Neil Young would be the final step in my transformation into Jack Torrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
