I guess it's maybe a matter of perspective? In the several vids that I checked out, there's no one to really compare him against...but I was just remembering an article that had come out around the time of 88 Elmira Street (Guitar Player I think) where his diminuitive stature and extremely short, stubby fingers were mentioned by both the writer & by Gatton himself.
Danny Gatton Kinda looks on the stubby end here....but again, it's all relative I guess.
