Looks like a Gretsch 6014 AKA Corsair up front, one of the very few 16" Venetian cutaway all-acoustic archtops then or now. Great little utility guitars as I'm sure you've discovered: lightweight, versatile (have their own thing going on tonally, which I happen to like), the good ones are very easy-handling (many if not most Brooklyn Gretsch hollowbodies/acoustics from this era have built-in neckset issues); kinda few and far between these days, even here on their home turf - and I wish I had grabbed one as a companion to my '64 Double Annie when they could be had for $100-150 back in the '70s...
