From Dai Thomas' website:
*Blind Gary Davis National Duolian then onto a Washburn and various Gibsons including J200s, B45-12s, Hummingbirds, a Southern Jumbo; also a Bozo 12-string and briefly, a 6-string. There are photos of him with a Yamaha dreadnaught, a Martin D-28 and a Gibson J-50.*
The Nat Duolian was from his early pre-war recordings and by the end of his career he was playing Gibson J-200's ...referred to as 'Miss Gibson'
Stefan Grossman over at the Woodshed may know what happened to his guitars after he passed on...GD's wife outlived him by a number of years...Ari, do you know anything about what happend to Davis' guitars?
