Doesn't he play a Chet Atkins? The Black and White one, or is that the Modulus?

It's being played in the Jerry Jones, which is usually in baritone tuning. I didn't know he was tuning it standard for that song.

The song is in standard tuning, so we're kind of assuming that Dave picked up a Jerry Jones standard electric Neptune. It would be impossible to tune a baritone up to standard. I sent a question to the Crew about it about a week ago, haven't heard anything back yet.

Since it has a long fretboard, he can play it with that A on the 10th fret, or wherever it is...

Impresive list, however wouldn't it have been easier to just name the songs that DIDN'T feature the six string Taylor?

just to throw in for information purposes the taylor 914c he uses is a folk body and the martin is a dreadnaught. probably something everyone knew but sometimes people dont look at his guitars that much.

actually since '00...the last time he used it for a full show was 7.5.00 and he used it for a few songs for a few shows after that, but it was definitely still around in '99 or '00...I heard that there's still one that travels too but that was never confirmed by more than one random person...
