Ummm... that was I who bought it. As we chemists always say, "He who acetates is lost."

I should get it in this week. I'll take some hopefully better pictures and post them. I'll also e-mail Kenny with the serial number and have him look it up to see what the official model designation was when it left the factory.

By the way, the contact for the bass is the son of the late Tom Fogerty of CCR fame.

Gary....if you get it and aren't pleased let me know....I may be in the market for an s5 and I acted too little slow on this one.

No problem, guys, will do, if I don't take a liking to it.

I just got the guitar in, and it does have some issues; what the pictures did not show was that the tailpiece has an enormous lift to it and that's one reason why the string spacing looks so wacky. I don't think that the issues are insurmountable, but I will post pictures and elicit expert opinion by posting a new thread later under "The Vibrola" section.
