The first piece of the experiment has been secured! While “on camera” Lightnin’ would play a Gibson, there are reports that he also played a Harmony guitar during a number of recording sessions. While vintage Gibson guitars are out of my reach (too cashy!), Harmony guitars from the period are much more affordable (and probably not as collectable).
After trying with a number of auctions, I finally nabbed a vintage 000-sized Harmony acoustic. It may need a little work, but the price makes it a great guitar to experiment on. I should receive it in a few days, so I’ll keep you posted.
