    These wonderful comments below say it all, I have been inspired by Hank and the Shadows since early schoolboy days back in the mid 60's and still to this day in 2021 I thrill to the sound of the clean chimey melodies of Sir Hank Marvin...An excellent ambassador to the electric guitar and how a backing band should sound :)

    There R so many bands & singers that have had a good sound but have only had a 1 hit wonder & then they fade into oblivion. I'm 71 & grew up with so many good songs that it's sad these people & their music just don't exist anymore. My older brother introduced me to DO-WOP, then because
    The Beatles came by & brought with them all their English Mates of the 1960's some made out very
    well, while were just 1 hit wonders just like so many American bands & singers these people too
    faded into oblivion. It all depends on your writing ability & how many good songs u can turn or who
    is your writing team & just how good they are. The music business is a very tough industry u got to
    be good & talented to stay alive or u will be passed by.

    Very nice! I've got a red Strat like that with rosewood fretboard, lace sensors, and locking tuners. Looks like you've got locking also, nice solo work, thank you!
