Yes that was Kenny's Ghia.
I built it for him I believe in 2002, he loved it and played it at home.
But Kenny being Kenny he couldn't leave well enough alone and did a few tweaks.
I never did hear the changes so I can't comment on them, not sure why a Ghia would need a Hi Cut control, but Kenny only played Tele's.

I guess his sister Mona sold it after his death and I think this is the second owner.
I suppose I could have asked for it back after his death, but that's not my style.

That's about I know about it.

Very interesting, thx Z for weighing in. From the little I know about Kenny I can certainly understand he couldn't help but personalize it! Sounds like a pretty amazing guy. I'm sure you miss his perspective on things.

But considering it's Ken Fischer, I'd be interested to hear what it's like...and why Kenny felt he needed to mod it.

GuitarZ: Carrying batteries for backup in the gig bag is great until you realize you can't free one of those little CR2032 buggers without a pair of scissors. And, that's after you free it from the outer packaging.
