Identify This Guitar From A 1949 Randolph Scott Movie

[Inyo]

So what kind of guitar is Josh White playing in this 1949 Randolph Scott movie, called The Walking Hills--filmed in then Death Valley National Monument (it's now a national park, of course), the Alabama Hills, and Lone Pine?





And no Animal House-themed recommendations about smashing the guitar, please. Grin:

Inyo, I don't know the make of that guitar, but I wanted to post to say I enjoyed listening to some of your instrumentals.

Oh, and by way "Ride the High Country" (1962), Scott's last film, directed by Sam Peckinpah and featuring Joel McRea, Mariette Hartley, Warren Oates, and Edgar Buchanan, is one of the all time great movies.

I never saw a painted 00-21 though he is reputed to have used one.

I think it has large double pick guards.

Josh has been pictured elsewhere with this guitar.
It's a Martin 00 size guitar, either a 42 or45 style with two larger black pickguards on both sides of the upper bout.
