Talking of KAs, I spent a couple of hours chatting with him a couple of years ago. Nice bloke, but he and his dad had a real bust-up. Kent wasn't keen on Bill Lawrence - claimed he'd (Bill) stolen his designs from Dan (Kent's dad). It got confusing.

Ooo, from that description, I can see why a kentron in the neck would be a good choice to match a Vintage C in the bridge. Cool, that's the sorta sound I've after. Yeehaa
