Steve Jordan's guitar?

[greenchimneys]

Hello all,

I haven't posted in a while, but something's got me really itching to find out some more information...

Does anyone know what kind of guitar Steve Jordan played in his later years? I have seen some pictures and video of Steve, and he is most often seen with this guitar, which you can see here:

What's got me really curious is seeing how thin the body is. Is this some kind of custom job from Gibson or Gretsch? Is it by a custom builder? I'd love to know, but really have no idea what it is or could possibly be. Anyone have a guess?

That looks like a Gibson L5-CT, aka the George Gobel model. It's a thin body L-5.

Thanks bluemonk! That's the one! I had no idea anyone made such a guitar in the past.

There is a mint custom available locally... Crimson red as it ought to nbe.

Unfortunately, overpriced.

I remember photographing him at Blues Alley back in the late 60s or early 70s when I was a newspaper photographer. I have a pretty good mental picture of the print, but I can’t remember the guitar.
