Am I mistaken or is that the infamous "Memphis Mojo" Burst that Eric Ernest owned awhile back?

Lee Baker appears to be playing a 'Burst (guess: 1958?) with a Bigsby with his band Moloch at the 1969 Memphis Blues Festival.
YouTube link: Memphis 1969 Blues Festival. Moloch appears at approximately 52:30 and the guitar appears at approximately 53:30.
Sounds like a Les Paul through a big amp to me!
