Bowie Hagstrom Kent

Hi, everybody. Great website here. Incredible trove of information.

Does anyone know the materials of the Kent/Hagstrom III that Bowie has in the Rebel Rebel vid.

body wood (and is it all wood or w/ lucite top)
neck wood and scale length
fingerboard wood (Indian or Brazilian rosewood)
nut material

Lastly, does anyone know whether Bowie used that guitar on the DIAMOND DOGS album? For once, Bowie played lead and rhythm guitar on it, and I love the sound he got!

Thanks
Alex

Re: Bowie Hagstrom Kent

Upon further investigation, I'm suspecting it may be made like the Hagstrom Cromwells (laminated alder body, birch neck, no lucite front)... because of the fact that Bowie's guitar has the headstock (and presumably the neck) painted bright red like the body and has the rounded -- not bevelled -- front edges.

I wonder if Ed Brady's guitar is like that too?

The search for knowledge continues...
