HARDY

HARDY was seen using one of these guitars in the live sessions for his album "A Rock". Here is a YouTube video of the live performance of "Broke Boy" where he can be seen using a sans-pickguard model. Could possibly be a 2016 or 2019 based on research of pickguard free models.

HARDY can be seen playing what appears to be a Martin DX1 acoustic electric guitar in his acoustic live versions of songs from his first EP. This example is from the "4X4" video on his YouTube channel. You can get a glimpse into the sound hole, and the black and gold label indicate this model.

HARDY is seen using a number of guitars in this video, but there is a clear shot of a black J-45 standard at about 2:15. He has performed with this model at many shows.

HARDY is seen using a black Epiphone dot ES-335 in this music video. He is typically seen with a Gibson ES-335 live, but with all the instruments being smashed in the video, a cheaper alternative was used.

On HARDY's official instagram, you can see him pictured with a red Gibson ES-335. He has been seen playing various 335's over time, most notably this one and a black 335.

On HARDY's official Instagram, you can see him playing what appears to be a sunburst Fender Stratocaster. The specifics are unclear, but we can assume it is a Fender.

On HARDY's official Instagram, you can see him playing a Gibson J-45 AG. He is well known for using standard J-45 models, but this is a rare sighting with this model.

I love the way this guitar looks and sounds so I went on a mission to see if I could find the model. You can find it in a lot of Hardy's more recent videos. This video is the best that I have seen showing the full guitar. This sent me on a Martin kick so I went and played a couple. The D-35 and the D-18 sound AMAZING. Even the road series KOA was pleasant for the price point. Decisions, decisions. Hope this helps somone!
