Kenny's Acoustic

Post by 86kubicki »

Is this just an optical delusion, or does Kenny's Comstock not have triangular fret markers?

a) My Comstock is indeed Montezuma Brown, and has no inlays on the fingerboard. (I'm tempted to have my name inlaid on the fingerboard, Nashville style...)

b) I did indeed have triangle inlays on my cheeks that day. And a bad haircut to boot!

c) This photo was taken at Circle Sky Records in Atlanta, where I'm playing yet again on July 7th.

Hmmm. The bass player needs to be assimilated Kenny. Image

I agree with Brian!
He's got the black & white Jazz, now he needs a nice JG 4003.
Don't tell me you couldn't find one nearby!

I have tried. He used to play a Hagstrom, which is pretty cool.

Actually, you couldn't - this was in Atlanta, after all.
