Stephen Stills is pictured with a Martin D-28 acoustic guitar, featuring a vertical logo, as seen in a photo from Performing Songwriter.
Stills first obtained a Martin Herringbone D-28 after the success of Buffalo Springfield's hit single, "For What It's Worth" (https://www.bmi.com/news/entry/Tips_From_the_Top_The_Making_of_Buffalo_Springfield_Again):
I had just enough money from ‘For What It’s Worth’ to get that Martin - and a Ferrari. ... ‘Bluebird’ was the first song I used it on. Of course, vintage Martins didn’t cost the moon back then, either.
The guitar, either a 1935 or 1937 model, had its headstock replaced with that of a D-45. He continued to use it for the remainder of the 1960s. It appeared on a collection of demos titled Just Roll Tape, as well as the first Crosby, Stills & Nash album. However, it was stolen from Stills' Colorado cabinet in the 1970s (https://www.mwe3.com/archive/pastfeature/featureStephenStills07.htm).
RS: Can you remember what acoustic guitar you used recording the Just Roll Tape tracks, or is that nit-picking?
SS: No, I remember it quite well because, somebody walked into my cabinet in Colorado and walked out with it while I was out for the night. But it was a 1935 D-28, a herringbone and someone had taken and put in the D-45 masthead on the pick guard and somebody stole that many, many years ago. I made the first CSN and then I got my D-45 which sounded just as great. But that original D-28, it’s out there somewhere. And there’s nothing like it because someone put the D-45 headstock on it, you know the way that’s it written? On a D-28, so it’s very unique. So, if anybody spots it, someone stole that out of my cabinet in Colorado in the ‘70s!
