According to Malcolm Campbell's book "A pocket guide to Shadow Music", Geronimo was recorded in december 1962, around a year before it was released.
Were the Shadows already using Burns guitar for recording at this time ? difficult to say...
Gégé's Burns is a 2004 Marvin signature model.

I've heard a lot of players trying to achieve the ultimate playing and sound of the Shads stuff and I truly think Gégé is one
player who definitely does reach the "spot on" in both!! I listen to him with my eyes closed and could swear it also could have been the
Shads themselves on these vids... I am really inspired by you Gégé and am doing my best to get there too playing/soundwise!!
Thank you for being an example for all of us...

A perfect rendition in every respect.
