If you're talking about the steels pictured in the article, the left one is an Asher, the middle one is a Beard, and the right one is a National.
If you're talking about this video on YouTube, it's probably the Asher.

Looked at the Asher website, beautiful guitars!
I like the looks of the Hawaiian Jr., somewhat smaller than Cindy's guitar as far as the lower bout.
Anyone here tried one? Nice looking axe for under a grand.

Here's my review from September 2008. I think they're great guitars.

Thanks for that link Brad.
I like the size of the Jr. over the Standard size. The price is more in my budget too!
Seems odd that they made the standard so big! There is room on Cindy's axe for a brewskie, and an ashtray! Maybe even a couple hands of euchre on break!
Either that or Miss Cindy is just a little bitty lady, I have never had the pleasure of catching her live so I have no reference, but it seems like a fairly large instrument.
I sure can't find fault with the tone of the standard size though, it sounds great!
