Here's Freddy King with his 335, but someone in the back (Hubert Sumlin?) is playing an old RIC. Cool!

The Ric player is Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. This is from a show that ran during 1966 in Dallas called The!!!Beat that was hosted by a man named "Hoss" Allen; a popular DJ on WLAC in Nashville.

Freddie's guitar is actually an ES-345 and believe it or not, is currently owned by Steven Seagal - he of the really bad martial arts films. Seagal also owns Albert King's '58 Flying V and and number of vintage pieces, mostly Strats.

MY friend said Steven Seagals album wasn't that bad... I think both the guitars you mentioned were featured on it, I'm not 100% sure though... love those ES Gibsons...
