I was curious about that, too. The Gretsch(Rancher) he's playing is a $375 "beginner" acoustic.
I looked it up and it does appear to be the Rancher as you mention. In terms of being out on the road and needing a handful of guitars for different tunings and such, they might be a decent workhorse guitar. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with cheapies every now and then. With a full band in a bar the difference in sound may be negligible. In a small studio with good sound, a decent guitar works and traveling with your sacred axes gets tenuous.

Nice! Thanks, Antelope. The 99 sounds especially good with the harmonica. And Jay's vocals are spot on.

Jay live on WFUV
