Ben Harper with the Blind Boys of Alabama

Full HD concert. Haven't listened to all but some nice music here with Weissenborn and electric steel. Check out Church House Steps.

Looks like Ben is playing a wood-body National Reso-phonic biscuit bridge squareneck on the first song. I've rarely seen him play a lap-style resonator of any kind.

Looks like a National Reso-Phonic Model D Western.

I went back and looked at the first song and I concur Brad.

Initially I thought that and saw the rope binding, but I read recently that Ben has a square neck biscuit bridge National, and from one angle it looked like a possible biscuit bridge.

It's still fairly rare to see a resonator guitar on Ben's lap, like David Lindley he's been pretty clear over the years that when it comes to lap-style acoustic guitars he prefers Weissies.
