In this studio footage from the recording of "Have You Seen Her Face?", McGuinn can be seen using a Gretsch Tennessean. It can be seen throughout the video, beginning at 0:24.
In an interview for Premier Guitar, Roger recalls using his Gretsch Country Gentleman for the song (https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/roger-mcguinn-rickenbackers-martins-byrds):
I had a Gretsch Country Gentleman strung with flatwound strings that I used on 'Have You Seen Her Face'—that was The Beatles’ influence again.
However, the guitar seen in the footage of the song's recording is clearly a Tennessean, as can be seen by the white outlines around its f-holes.
