A shot of the guitar on one of the band’s overhead screens show the three control knobs for the electronics near the neck on the side of the upper bout.

Fan footage from the Smile’s show at 3arena in Dublin has provided some clarity on the classical guitar that we first mentioned in our analysis of the band’s rehearsal setup. The guitar appears to be a Taylor 312ce-N, which is a single-cutaway electro-acoustic nylon-string guitar. Thom used the guitar for finger-strumming on the song Wall of Eyes. It’s possible that Thom used the Taylor on the album recording. But it seems more likely that he purchased the electro-acoustic Taylor as a touring alternative to whichever acoustic instrument he used on the track.

A shot of Thom with the guitar during Wall of Eyes, from a fan video shared on the band’s discord.

The footage has revealed one other interesting detail about the live arrangement of Wall of Eyes: Jonny is playing an extremely unusual guitar. But more info on that later…

UPDATE

We now have a much nicer photo, shared by @miguel_ruiz:
