When my family and I met Gordon and the band at Aurora in Sept 2007, my son noticed that Terry was using a different guitar from the D-18 he had been using. When we spoke to Terry after the concert, he indicated that Gordon switched his 6-string guitar from his Martin D-28 to a Martin D-18. So, to get a sound distinctive from Gordon's guitar, Terry switched to this parlor-shaped guitar. He said it was personnally designed for him by a gentleman "who has since passed away." This must be the OM-45 referred to in Jesse Joe's post above.
