Jerre since you posed exactly the same question on the Newsgroup (please don't get me wrong as there is nothing wrong with that) at:-
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.m...005ca3/?hl=en#
,which not everybody here reads, I will repeat my reply from there:-
"I am by no means a guitar expert but I can say that unquestionably
Gord had his usual brace of 12-strings at all three concerts we
recently attended New Brunswick NJ; Concord NH and Burlington VT,
Because I was intending to answer a corfid question (from Jesse-Joe) on Terry's guitars
I distinctly remember looking at the name area of all guitars being strummed and I may be wrong but I am fairly confident that at all three
concerts both of Gord's 12 strings were Gibsons.And being as how I was sitting virtually dead centre in the front row of the additional Dress Circle about 12 feet from Gord's guitars at Burlington I am sure I would have spotted if one of the 12's on that ocasion was an Alveraz or
anything other than a Gibson"
I have no comment on the two guitar's wood colouring sorry
