That was the guitar on the cover of 1967’s Strings and ’68’s Baiyina? Yes. I used that guitar until I met (luthier) Sam Koontz; bless his soul, he’s no longer with us. He came and heard me play, and told me he wanted to build an instrument for me as a gift through respect. He did so. He built that guitar with an oval sound hole, very much like a Howard Roberts model, and a floating pickup. It had a door that would slide over the oval hole; closing off the top and cutting the feedback. I used that guitar on The Visit (1972) and on the live album (Pat Martino/Live, 1972).
This protype custom build guitar would later be named the Koontz SK-3 model as seen here. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/koontz-sk3-carved-archtop-110680972
