I think he doesn't use it much anymore, but did in the early days of Cursive. Here's a video from 2003.

Sometime during Cursive's touring, Tim's Corvus was significantly damaged at a show. Years later, Tim came back across the damaged guitar in a storage room of O'Leaver's Pub (owned by the band, Cursive) in Omaha. Ground Floor Guitar in Omaha repaired and restored the Corvus, which is now back in normal use with Tim.
