So I was recently browsing thru YouTube looking at acoustic performances from Neil, when I stumbled across this one;
Now I'm wondering what guitar he's holding. It's almost certainly a Gibson, natural colour, the pickguard looks to be like what's on a J-200 guitar but it's not quite that. It appears to have regular block inlays rather than crown once, I'm not sure if it's a dread or a jumbo or something in between?
The reason I don't think it's a J-200 is that the sides look darker than the top, a J-200 is fully maple and would be similarly coloured on both sides and top. So what is it?

I reckon it's a natural dove.

@defjef: well you're not very helpful  Interesting kwis, what made you think that? I did look at these guitars but the Hummingbird/Dove guitars have a different shaped pickguard (from what I can tell in the video), this one looks more like what's on a J-200. Let me take another close look... It's definitely a dreadnought, yes? |

 Looks more like a J-200 type pickguard to me...  |

It also definitely looks like a jumbo shaped model, the upper bouts are much rounder than on a dreadnought.

Looks square shouldered ala dreadnought to me and from the still pic the pickguard does look j200ish but toward the end of the video it looks more dovish!

No it's definitely a Gibson as you can see the crown on the headstock. Just which one  |

I think it's easier to see in this video...from the same show
Of course maybe that's a different guitar....since he has a stack of them behind him.

Hard to see it properly.
