Question
Hey Joseph,

I am looking deeply into getting a new guitar for myself and I need some sort of influence as to what kind I should get. So maybe you know what type of guitar Dave is playing at most of his shows or even his preference of guitar. I am in love with his guitar that he is using on the "Great Lawn Concert" DVD but I can't seem to find out what kind it is. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Myke C.
