I have a 1966 Gibson SJN I bought it 20 years ago from a pilot from Michican who says it is Gordons,and had photos of Gordon and himself by a plane,,,,the wear marks on the guitar are EXACTLY like close ups of other guitars Gordon has played,,,and I found several pix of Gordon with a guitar EXACTLY like the one I have ,,I contacted Gibson and they say there were very few of these made...30 or so...What are the chances this is really an old guitar Gordon owned and how would I verify that,,?????ANY INFO ???
If my memory serves me right, on the Lightfoot Forward clip on cbc.ca (in the archives), near the end of the clip where Gord is in the studio recording Pussywillows Cat Tails, he's playing what appears to be a Gibson guitar, maybe a Hummingbird? It would be worth checking out.
