When I saw Roger in concert this past February he only had two guitars; his 370/12 signature model and his Martin HD-7. He also played a banjo, but I couldn't make out the brand name.

We went through this several months ago.
Yes, his guitar from the early 70s has hi-gains.
Yes, it has the cut-through headstock.
Yes, he had it modified.

Remember, I e-mailed Roger and posted his response with the "J" number.

And I posted photos of his guitar from the Fur Peace show showing that the background can be seen through the headstock.

Ring a bell?
