Throughout this video, Phil Ochs is playing a Gibson J-50. It was his primary acoustic guitar during the late '60s. It can also be seen in videos of live performances of "Flower Lady", "There But For Fortune", and "The War is Over", as well as numerous photos. It has some kind of inlay on the fretboard, replaced knobs on the tuning heads, and appears to be an adjustable bridge model.
