I've always been fascinated by that double cutaway Guild with the DeArmond pickups, which he used after his original single cutaway Starfire- I've often wondered if it was a special custom job built for him? Either way, Bert was a tremendous player IMHO!

noelford wrote:Andy, he was probably one of the biggest influences in the UK from the point of view of introducing the guitar to youngsters. His book, Play In A Day, THE guitar tutorial for many, was first published, I believe, in 1957 and has sold millions of copies. It is still in print and available today! The list of top guitarists who name Bert as their original influence is very long indeed.
