Hello there!! I discovered this on YT. I don't really get it, but I like it a lot. The video reminded me of Captain beefheart, who knows why... .....The clumsy dancing... Looks like she's playing an acoustic Guild....Dunno.. Enjoy....https://youtu.be/qPB6iPXhkdI

Cool video! Yes it's a Guild but I have difficulties about the model.

First thought about a GAD-30 due to the shiny headstock inlays, but has a normal pickguard and a "white" TRC (upside down however!). While the TRC could be fake and the pickguard changed, somehow also two very large "dots" are on a normal shaped Guild bridge and the "dots" on the fingerboard are also extra big as far as I can see in above picture.

It's not her guitar at the end I believe... Here is a picture close up from April 2019. It seems to be owned by her partner Huw Evans (a.k.a. H. Hawkline), who was also playing the guitar below. Due to the headstock inlay and truss rod cover and wooden (?) pickguard to me that looks like a Nashville custom shop guitar. Mahogany back and sides. Can't really see what the two inlays on the bridge are.
That's a good guess on my side and I'm sure Hans will correct me.

Thanks,Walrus, looks like I forgot to push the button somewhere !(On the other hand,I also have trouble with copying YT links in my mails,so maybe I have the Evil Eye or something!) Thanks also to SFIV1967 for researching on this guitar.I'm not familiar with A.Harding's music,she's not that famous here, she played a small venue in Orleans in 2017 (Of course, I missed it!).She's intriguing, I like that.
