I don't think this one has been posted. Buddy playing an early Sho-Bud and looks like a Standel amp.

Great video. Anybody know what model Gibson Ray Price is playing? It looks similar to their L-5 George Gobel model, but I believe that one came with F holes. The body is very thin. (So was mine 20 years ago...)

Great video! Lee, I'm not sure about Ray's guitar either, I'm hoping someone will answer. A George Gobel model would have the F holes and no sound hole, right? So is this the acoustic version of the L5-CT (Cutaway/Thinline)?

This has been posted before, but nothing wrong about putting it up again. Buddy's harmonics are simply perfect.
One of the comments on the clip said Gibson made this guitar special order for Ray. Notice it's a thin body so not an L-5 or other L series. The comments also said Pete Wade said it had about as much soul or sound as a buzzard.
