Hi,
According to Guy Fletcher the lead guitar on “Behind with the rent” was Gretsch 6120 not Gibson ES-330. Also, I think it is Les Paul in Madame Geneva’s.

Thanks for the info. As you can see, the page is still under construction, and I have not found time yet to search infos on GF site
(and I don’t want to visit Guy site untill I go to MK gig on 21/07, to not be spoiled about any info 
)
But on Mknews, on “Release page”, there’s some infos about gear used on SL, KTGC and GL.
I guess it was provided by Chuck Ainlay, but I don’t know how accurate it is.
Who can we trust ? Guy or Chuck ? I know that Guy was a lot implicated in KTGC production, but sometimes his memory is not very accurate, so…
Jean-François
