Re: Wonderful Land, what was used for the recording

Well Steve,
That's exactly what Hank told me multiple times.
They used certain guitars and amps longer in the studio, then some of " the trainspotters " (a honourous nickname the shads described the fanatic detail hunters with) seems to assume because of pinpointed dates of recordings or stage appearance .
There was just a simple reason, sometimes the stage gears stays in the van or where at the Vox plant for service and they tried to use the latest version on stage.
In the past a few peeps wrote how it all went with the Burns Marvin and the 20+ prototypes... dates when the shads got them and they had to used them on certain dates on recordings etc.
When I placed this snippet of one of my talks with Hank...they told me nope Hanks is wrong because he told in 62 in a magazine...

In a later conversation I was told by the men himself, the 20+ proto's are just a myth, they got most of the time the same guitar with alterations back and forth.
Even when they got the guitars for stage use there were modifications needed, think the toast-rack and trem backplate.
But guess what, still the large numbers of prototypes is still popping up in publications and topics on websites....
The statement they gave the maple neck back to Cliff....well that was well in the time the rosewoods were used...because the 34346 was painted white in same timeslot the rosewood got their white coat.
Cheers Rob
