Dear coastie99,
By way of apology for my blues ignorance, please accept the following.

Tennessee-born Johnny Ned Shines grew up in the Mississippi Delta area and developed his own vocal and slide guitar style along with an uncompromising conscience. Known to speak out on social issues and take political stands, his checkered career spanned from the 1920's until the 1990's. He passed in 1992.

And for the Gibson Trini Lopez model mis-sighting (though one can review that video and the Coronado photos and easily understand the mistake):

Trini Lopez Standard and Custom (Deluxe) Electric Archtops
Available: 1964 to 1971

Trini’s popularity led the Gibson Guitar Corporation to ask him in 1964 to design a guitar for them. He ended up designing two: The Trini Lopez Standard, a rock and roll model based on the Gibson ES-335 semi-hollow body, and the Lopez Deluxe, a variation of a Gibson jazz guitar designed by Barney Kessel.
