'Hard Rain' album sleeve

[Shonuff]

Ok,

Whilst out at the weekend one of the locals at my local came over to me with the album sleeve of Bob Dylans 'Hard Rain'. His question was this :

What kind of guitar is he playing in the picture on the inside of the sleeve?

First of all I though it was a Gibson ES335, but I think its to thin. Is it a Danelectro?

Anyone?

It's pretty hard to tell from seeing hardly any of the body and only a little bit of the headstock, but I'm sure someone here will be able to do it.

I'm going to have a guess and say it's one of these(or a variant), there appears to be a similar strange cut away in the bottom part of the body in the dylan pic. I've read that Dylan liked these National map body electrc guitars so it's possible.

EDIT: I just found this:

"BY THE TIME OF ROLLING THUNDER we are firmly back in Fender territory. In the main, the April / May 1976 leg featured a sunburst maple-necked Telecaster, but again there was one notable aberration: the use of a white National Glenwood for slide-guitar playing. This is the so-called "map guitar", made of plastic ("Resoglas") and shaped like a map of the U.S.A. "

Good work squire! I never noticed that cutaway till today myself. Looks pretty close by the looks of the headstock too. Away to tell the guy in the local tonite, he'll be well impressed.
