The 12-string in the corner is a B-25-12, the little brother to the big B-45-12s that we're all familiar with. I've seen that guitar in a couple of other shots of Gord's room, so maybe it's his "house 12-string" when his sunbursts are traveling.

They sound a lot like the B-45s. I wonder if he ever recorded with it?

I believe Gord had a circular sticker on his original B-45-12N, the natural-topped guitar, of Nudie, the famous LA-based clothing designer who made all the cowboy suits for country stars, rockers and actors. He's actually still around, and is active on Facebook.
