Was an amazing gig. I wish I'd been a bit older to appreciate it more. Was just starting to get into dire straits and the shadows were a bit "old hat" for me then. Silly silly boy :-( Still, I was only 14-15 I think....

Hank's guitar collection from Moonlight Shadows tour programme 1986 (3).jpg


Here's another attempt at a better image. Unfortunately the tour programme is too large for my scanner so I've taken a phone pic. Click on it to enlarge.

An original design reverse-body Gibson Firebird, but not an original model - it's a modified reissue. The early 60s version with two gold plated mini-humbuckers had binding on the neck and a Vibrola tremolo.

...so a right-hander, not a left-hander. Jim, to the best of your knowledge did Hank use this guitar on any recordings?
