Mike Johnson might know. He played steel for Mel back then.

All the youtubes are either a fancy Martin or an Ovation. I worked with him once (b4 he had a band) and recall that he used the ovation.

Unless you're getting the info from a very reliable source, those guitars that belonged to people stories can be impossible to substantiate (..., or prove to be accurate for that matter!)

I asked my friend Jimmy Peppers, who was one of Mel's record producers, and he doesn't remember.
