I think it is a gibson or epiphone, becuase it looks a lot like the black J-180 except with a cutaway, so maybe they made em back in the day, but not anymore.

My vote: it's definetly a Gibson.

It looks like one of these guys, a Gibson J-180 (as someone else mentioned), except with a florentine cut-away.

The picture is really low resolution, so that is why the Gibson logo is not clearly visible, but it's definetly there. The headstock shape is identical to the signature Gibson look. Also, there appears to be star shaped inlays going down the neck, just like a stock J-180. If you look at the twelfth fret, there seems to be two small stars inlayed there as well. [/img]

Off topic post here, but I have to ask. Is there any way I can download that episode of Driven off of you through AIM or something? I have been looking for it! I'd appreciate it!

Could be a Gibson Everly Brothers signature model, it definetly is a Gibson though. I know Dave has one and has used to to record some of UTTAD with it.
