I've seen one other very old video where Dave is playing a 6-string, and it isn't a 00-21.
The "story" is that when the cover was shot for the 1st album, for some reason, Bob did not have his D-28.
The 000-28 in the photo was supposedly one that someone happened to have when the photo was shot.
I think that's a bunch of crap.
I think Bob's first Martin 6-string was a 000-28.
And, he got his first D-28 after the first album came out.
Peter bought Bob's first D-28.
It does not have chrome plated Grover tuning machines.
They're ... I can't remember what kind of metal it is... that's silver. It's like bronze only it's silver. I've seen a few very old D-28s with these tuners.
It has incredible grain on the back.
