Biff Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Saw Lenny Kravitz an hour ago in a concert with an Epiphone that looked like an olive sunburst Sorrento with two minihumbuckers, no bigsby, trapeze tailpiece and a white pickguard with the Epiphone E logo. Almost like this: Although he was just 20 meters away I can't give a better description.. His guitarist had an es-335 of some sort, with a headstock with all the tuners on one side (like on a Trini Lopez) and a similar white pickguard with the Epiphone logo that Lenny's had. Couldn't see any text on the headstock, he was in the opposite end of the stage. And the gig wasn't bad either. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Killmore Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I sort of remember Lenny playing a big a$$ guitar like that on the video for "Let Love Rule". That might be the same one. But, then again that was like 17 or 18 years ago so, I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Killmore Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Killmore... That avatar's a good way to make sure all your posts get deleted! Or get you banned... That's sort of my goal. After having some of my posts removed for no good reason, I decided to get a little bold. If my posts are deleted now, at least I will know the reason why. If I am banned from the forum, then so be it. I love Fender guitars and amplifiers, and I'm not afraid to show it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But' date=' then again that was like 17 or 18 years ago so, I may be wrong.[/quote'] Well, he used that Epiphone last night on both 'Mr. Cab Driver' and 'Let Love Rule', so I think your memory serves you correct. Looks like a nice model. I think they made a reissue in the '90s but those few I found online looked like just your regular boring Korean archtops.
