That guitar confused a lot of people on-line over the years. When I mentioned the difference in that recorded sound and the actual instrument to a former manager at Gruhn's, he said, "When Norman is done with them there's nothing left, they're 'played out'. In case you were wondering, that guitar sounded like it was strung with rubber bands no matter what string you used. There is an old thread where this guitar is discussed and there are photos when it was in my care. AFAIK, the guitar still hasn't re-surfaced. Another few years later, my friend heard from that same fellow that the guitar had been stolen from him. My friend traded it for an early Mastertone 5-string. It is a 1950 D-28 with a slot head neck that was made by Randy Wood. I used to own the guitar on the cover of "Back Home in Sulphur Springs".
