Surprising, I would have thought it much smaller than an Epi JC which - except for the cutaway - has EB-2/ES-335 dimensions. Those true hollow bodies sure appear quite a bit larger. Escher is everywhere!

The hell he ain't!

Kenny should have matched the bridge and topnut to give an accurate comparison for the size of these basses.
Assuming they're the same scale (both 34 inch right?) this would be the picture:

Better "comparison", btw; I was looking at shape rather than dimensions...

Curiously, the present uncorked bottle is a Laphroaig 10yr, which is rather nice at the price... glass in hand and signing off... slainte mhath...
