Rehearsing for a show with The Four Bitchin' Babes at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia.

Nice. It seems odd that this was posted over nine months ago and, with my viewing, has hit only 149 views.
Don, I’ve been meaning to ask… do you happen to know Shelby Stephenson, poet laureate of North Carolina?

That's an unusual Taylor. Must be old or something. The bridge is very non-Tayloresque. So's the abalone rosette. Big black chunky mag pickup. But a normal Taylor headstock. |

At first glance I thought it was a Martin D35 because of the bindings. But the fretboard inlays, and the headstock logo (what little glimpse we got of it) said otherwise.
EDIT: That's an interesting picking style too. To me it looks close to a three-finger banjo roll, complete with a Scruggs style syncopation.

The body’s too round for a dreadnought. Guitar ain’t bad either.  |

Nicely done. Powerful and mature voice from a mature woman. I have enjoyed everything I have heard from Four Bitchin' Babes.
The guitar appears to be a 1980s-vintage Taylor 815. Jumbo body (like a Gibson J-200) Taylor used the strange bridge, kinda like a handlebar mustache, on a number of special instruments in the 1980s.
