Tim loved Guilds and had at least 4 and probably at least a couple more
Pretty darn sure it's one of his F212's. (16" lower 'bout 'hog body based on F47, introduced along with rosewood-bodied F312 in late '64.)
From post #9 in this thread
http://www.letstalkguild.com/ltg/showthread.php?182044-Tim-Buckley-on-Guild-12-What-model-and-year:
'Hog sides easy to see there, and note
early F212's didn't even get dot markers or chesterfields.
This one has darker-stained sides though, and no chesterfield.
Also played it on the very last episode of the Monkees:
One thing I noticed when I first saw that episode a couple of years back is that the pickguard shapes don't match!
We can rule out his F212
XL:
Was a single 'guard sunburst as noted in that thread, and it's just plain too big to be an F112.
And "FWIW" the F212XL doesn't even show up in the '65-66, '67, or '68 catalogs so pretty sure these vids are too early for it to be one..
EDIT:
Actually just saw F212XL's on the '67 price list so it
could be one, not sure if there's a way to be sure without fancy body metric software...now I'm wondering if those mis-matched 'guards might be a clue.
And his F512's are readily ID'd by the block markers and G-shield.
From the album that put him over the top,
Happy Sad, "Strange Feelin'":
Owes a lot I think to Miles Davis' "All Blues":

Which btw is another example of how much influence Miles Davis' 1959
Kind of Blue had on the '60's "psychedelic folk rock jazz scene".
(Duane Allman once said he played it for hours daily and that it was a major stylistic influenced on him).
