That appears to be his Martin D-28 with custom leather cover.

He seems to have on the "Horseshoe" ring as well, putting this circa April 1956.

bripet56 what say you?

This is a tough one.

I'd say April 1956 due to the mandarin-collared shirt he wears. He wore these shirts mainly during April 1956.

A WILD GUESS could be at Audubon Drive. I think the wall behind him reminds me a lot of the wall at Audubon Drive in some other photos. But just a WILD GUESS.
