Cool! Two Songbirds on the left? Can't really see the player on the right.

BTW, the location where they are playing is simply beautiful...

Methinks only the left is Songbird - the others are thicker - or was the name "Songbird" used on those, too?

Edit - could the two be S4cehg ?

No they belong to the F series, F-4CE (the crimson red one, dot inlays, unbound fingerboard, Chesterfield oval soundhole) and F-65CE (the blonde one, block inlays, bound fretboard and headstock, oval soundhole, G shield headstock logo).

By the way, the annual "Donauinselfest" in Vienna is legendary, that video you posted shows why!

Looks like an F-30CE with a 'Wood Grain Red' finish and somewhat unusual Chrome tuners.
Ah, I only remembered the F-4CE model with oval soundhole and those features.

Here's a really big picture: https://www.fernweh-park.de/wp-cont...TS_Konzert_Schiffkowitz_rote-Gitarre_0176.jpg

And this one:

The guitar that you see in that photo does not have typical F-4CE features, but Guild did do a few instruments with colored finishes towards the end of production of the F-30CE. Those instruments did get the F-4CE model designation on the label, but they were built on the superstructure of an F-30CE and had an F-30CE serial number. The red guitar in the photo might be one of those and that might explain the chrome tuners.

Sincerely,
