He actually used a Pre-War Martin D-28, purchased at Gruhn's Guitars in Nashville. He bought it with his insurance check after his other guitars got flooded. It was about $100,000!!! In his book, he talks about why he finally purchased it and how it is his favorite guitar.

I've been playing for 45 years. I saw Brad last night in Chula Vista. He had the best tone I've ever heard. His equipment set-up was absolutely impressive.
