  1. yeah I've seen that, Kenny had a lot of guitars! he was using a non cut Epi Emperor then too. once he got his DA NYer from Al Chernet he used if for quite awhile before switching to Super 400's exlusively [not counting the occasional nylon string, and the blue Heritage] the sunburst L-5CC has 60's reflector knobs, so it's surely a later guitar than the blonde
  2. one guitar I can't figure out is the one Kenny is playing in the Les Paul forum link Jim posted. in post 3 of that link it looks like a blonde florentine L-5 w/Christian pickup and selector switch on the upper bass bout like a 175, and no point @ the end of the fingerboard can't see what kind of pickup is in the bridge position and it has what looks to be one of those Oettinger finger tailpieces. the control knobs are from the late 50s, so you'd think that was when the guitar was made. Kenny has often been credited w/pushing Gibson to make a 17" carved top w/ floretine cut, maybe this is some sort of prototype? I'm guessing he had this guitar before the single Christian pickup sunburst he's pictured w/on the Weaver Of Dreams lp.
