I finally made the discovery that he was playing a very unusual instrument 
.
. . a 6 string banjo called a BANJITAR (some folks spell it banjuitar). This
is a hybrid instrument between and Banjo and a Guitar. The build of a banjo
with  a slightly wider neck and the 6 strings of a guitar.

That instrument sounds like what Clancy Hayes used to play.  Check out Bob 
Scobey's recordings.
