Thanks, Rosemary - it's a while since I last heard Hank, who really is quite ageless!
Out of interest, during the interview, he refers to the original Strat that Cliff had imported in 1959, which I've always assumed was that featuring the maple neck, as pictured on, say, the Shadows To The Fore EP sleeve. However, other photos from the same period often show Hank with a rosewood neck model - indeed, as was the guitar that Princess Margaret was pictured taking a great interest in at (probably) the 1960 Royal Variety Performance.
