Very nice, one has to wonder where all of these older instruments are :)

Thanks Adriaan - I never knew.  Wonder what wood that is on his 6 string - it looks beautiful.

I was wondering that too. May be the way the light is coming from, but it kinda' looks like a zebrawood top.

I'm pretty sure both of Donovan's are Zebrawood, and as far as I know, he still has them both (at least he did a couple years ago - I should check in with him again!). The photo looks enhanced, but it's a really cool shot. I've never seen it before.
