Buddy is on 4 or 5 tracks of Lenny's '7 String Swing'.

Definitely original. Covered with the same material. The inside one is attached to the separating batten rather than the bottom of the case.

I don't see why you would hesitate to string it with 6, if that is what is required. I have the outside neck of my triple strung with C#m (E6) 6 string. Anything else, other than maybe a reentrant str ...
