Miscellaneous Guitars Glen Has Played

[jay]

Around 1970, Glen showed up on Johnny Carson, Tom Jones and his own show playing a Baldwin Model 801CP. The instigating factor was when Jerry Reed joined the Goodtime Hour. He was playing a Baldwin 801CP, which had a Prismatone pickup that allowed Jerry to amp his classical guitar. The nylon guitar that Glen used at the time was an Ovation, as he was Ovation’s most visible and popular endorser. The problem was, the Ovation had to be mic’ed, because Ovation (as most companies at the time) did not have an acoustic that had a pickup and could be amplified.

Glen was seen with Jerry Reed, both of them playing the Baldwin:



And on his own Goodtime Hour, during the Christmas Special:



But Glen’s appearances with the Baldwin were short-lived. Ovation would soon have the 1624 Country Artist in Glen's hands and the Baldwin went back to Jerry for good.

Couldn't pass this one up. It appears to be a Kay H612 from the 60's. I believe that Kay also built these guitars for Silvertone...but the headstock is all Kay!

On July 1st, 2004, Glen was sentenced (with a 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily furlough in an air-conditioned cell) to 10 days in jail for DWI. On his last day, July 10th, Glen performed a 30-minute concert for about 1,000 inmates at Maricopa County’s outdoor jail. He would later state he "had a captive audience."

Glen performed several of his hits on a makeshift stage atop a flatbed truck using a Guild DC3 Cutaway.

Glen has been seen with quite a few guitars on individual occasions, whether they have belonged to him or others. I think this is a good time to start this thread. If you know the year and/or make, please put it in the subject line!
