Is strong...It even has power over this guy: Who is Hank Marvin, for those who do not know. He owned the first Strat in England, perhaps in Europe way abck in the 1960s, and played in a group called The Shadows, which were massive in England and still have a huge fanbase. To many people he is one of the definitive Strat players of all time, along with Jimi and Buddy. The guy still plays today, but here he is 19 years ago, with a Fender HM! I thought that was very fun to see. If it's good enough for Hank, it's good enough for anyone. AND if you are really interested, you can watch and hear it in action here (caution, total retro 50s cheesy music contained in that link): I think we can add that HM to the list of super famous ones, along with Greg Howe's and Ethan Brosch's!

Very cool, Nick! I've read that Hank Marvin was a huge influence on Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. And of course, we know Cliff Richard was the favorite of...
Rick, from the Young Ones! (Looking for this pic I discovered that this old TV show was named after a Cliff Richard album. Never knew that!
