RevGeo Joined: Nov 14, 2013 Posts: 24	Posted on Nov 14 2013 10:52 AM Hi. New to this site. I've been playing instrumental rock music since the late 60s. I started with Duane Eddy, The Ventures, The Shadows, Dick Dale and all the usual surf bands. Anyway, my favorite guitars are my Shell Pink Strat and my Frankenstein Kay hollow body that has two P-90s, a Gretsch HB in the bridge position and an old Bigsby vibrato that came off of a trashed Gibson of some sort. I'm enjoying this site and look forward to reading and talking George Top
normj Joined: Apr 26, 2010 Posts: 882 central Indiana	Posted on Nov 14 2013 12:42 PM George, Welcome to our little corner of cyberspace. Nice to have you with us. We have a great bunch of guys and gals here. Most of the senior circuit has influenced by Duane Eddy; I know I was. Hank Marvin is the master of the tremolo. I wish I could make a guitar sound the way he does. Shell pink Strat. I really like those. You don't see them very often these days. Talk to you later, Norm Top
