I found this webpage today that has some interesting information about some of Bob's Guitar (Link)

They didn't mention his Larson guitar and alot of other guitars either. If you you have any cool pictures or infor mation about bobs guitars post them here.

I just like the first one 'cause it looks like mine, I used to have a poster of him playing it.

Is that a Martin D-15? That looked like my D-15.

It's a 00-17 and I have the 00-15. The 000-15 (bigger) and D-15 (dreadnought) are both different body styles.

And the D-15

I stand corrected!

You have made me want to try a 00-15 now, the 000-15 is lovely, but it isn't very loud at all, I'm wondering if the bigger body size increases amplification?
EDIT - I thought 00 was bigger!?

Ah, gotcha.

The 000 is indeed the bigger one, but I think it's the same shape just scaled up a tad?

These aren't to scale with each other so I'm not posting it as a size reference but more a comparison of all these styles.

I actually find the 00 to be pretty loud, certainly as far as bass response goes... it overpowers dreadnoughts when fingerpicked. I never got to play a 000, just the d-15 and d-15s (old-school version of Pen's guitar)

Here is another webpage about Dylan's guitars (Link)

I think Dylan traded his H-44 Stratotone for the Martin

He's played a lot of stuff over the years. When it comes to electrics I've seen him mostly play Strats but also some Teles, a National Map Body guitar, a Teisco KL-4, a Gibson Goldtop, a lot of old Silvertones and Harmony guitars, and Gibson Hollowbodies.

I love it when Dylan plays electric guitar.

He played all sorts of stuff over the years. Probably the guitar most associated with him was the modded 1930s Nick Lucas Special he used during the years he became really big.

did they alter the size of his dome to be proportionate to the size of that airline map?

who's he playing with in the pic with the 'modified mustang?' specifically the dude on the beautifully worn tele.
