In my most recent Members / behind the scenes video I’m taking you behind the scenes with my 1962 Fender Stratocaster, how it came into my possession, some of the history behind the guitar, and why genuine vintage instruments command the prices they do.

More than anything, I talk about what it feels like to own an instrument that has already lived a lifetime before reaching me. I don't really see myself as its owner, but as its current custodian, responsible for looking after it until it's eventually time for someone else to continue its story.

Grab a brew and join me for an informal chat about a very special guitar.
