Colin Meloy

During this live performance from 2009 you can see early on Colin switch his acoustic for the Gretsch (more clearly at 1:24).

"This was my main stage guitar between ’05 and ’07 or ‘08. It was bought in ’05 as a replacement for the 17S that was stolen during the gear theft. I probably wrote a lot of stuff from The Crane Wife on it. You can see me playing it on the recent Live At The 9:30 Club video. Once I’d gravitated away from it, it served as a second guitar for The Hazards of Love tour."

"Very heaven. Big ups to @bensonamps and @reverendguitars!!"

At 1:53 you can most clearly see Colin Meloy using a Gibson Gold-Top Les Paul
