The guitar Roger used in the original recording of He was a Friend of Mine, was it Crosby's D-18 6 string before it was converted to a 12? I could never determine if the song was played with a 6 or 12.

Thanks,

Ron

I sounds like a 6 to me.

Hi:

I remember reading once, years ago, that he had a Martin 12-string-- a D 12-35

Nice jangle, but definitely a six-string!
