The Stratocaster demonstrates what humans are meant to find attractive. Smooth curves, a slender neck and? makes beautiful sounds.

I´d like to give? myself a Strat this Christmas… I don´t deserve it though…

Hank and Bruce must have had a few more Strats, as the ones in the clips have rosewood boards,? whereas the guitar that Bruce shows has a maple board.

“If you didn’t see…ever see Jimi Hendrix perform, y’know, you’ve just missed it. Sorry, you’ve missed it. Y’know, I missed Charlie Parker so fuck off, y’know, there’s? nothing you can do about it”.

Love it.

I’m very happy to ehar that #001 is David Gilmour’s and that he’s playing it rather than it being in some banker’s? vault.

markobenzon January 26, 2012 at 2:35 am

Whick song is played in the last seconds of this? video, some instrumental, but i forgot the title

WItekpel January 26, 2012 at 2:50 am

@Andrewshadowy What is the name of this documentary? I’d love to see the whole thing.?

pyscobrand January 26, 2012 at 3:10 am

All guitars are unique in even? the smallest of ways.

LOVED? THIS!!!!

saintidiot January 26, 2012 at 4:51 am

Jimi was the fucking coolest?

KsiazeIgor January 26, 2012 at 5:46 am

I? like the way Pete describes not seeing Charlie Parker’s gig.

lalbruiz January 26, 2012 at 6:39 am

I didn´t? get it. Cliff Richards purchased the guitar for Hank to play it, so it wasn´t his? Why Bruce Welch has it? It was lent to him but he never gave it back? Damn.

lalbruiz January 26, 2012 at 7:16 am

Great documentary, gotta love Hank Marvin and The Shadows, even with that cheesy? “DA DUM DA DUM DA DUM” coreography, LOL.
