Bob using a Gretsch at the Stanley Theater in Sept of 72'...

Do you know of this guitar? He used the Duo-Jet with the Warlocks. Can the guitar at The Stanley Theater shows be the same?

On the official Stanley Theater '72 release, Weir's guitar (or Weir?) has an issue. Check out the China Cat.

Are we sure this is a Gretsch?

Yes. It says Gretsch on the headstock! Ha! The above 72' photo is from Deb Trist who took them on September 27th. Another contributor on the GD Musicians FB page says he saw Weir use it for 2 nights but believed it to be a Country Gentleman model as oppossed to the Warlocks era Duo-Jet.
