I know Kenny Burrell has used a few archtops over the years and that he had a CC equipped L-5 around the time he did the 'Midnight Blue' album in '63 but i've never seen pics of it
Then I saw this;

At first I thought it was a custom built L-5 - post '60 florentine cut, but with a finger tailpiece, selector switch on upper bout and L-5 neck with squared fingerboard end.
Then I looked again - is it a 16" body?? It looks smaller than a regular L-5 - and it looks short scale??
