    Cool Hello Guys!

    Why Hello there!

    My name is Robson. The "Hank" bit in my username just refers to Hank Marvin which is my favourite guitarist. I am currently 14 years of age, and I am just starting to sing some Cliff Richard songs. I play the guitar, bass guitar, keyboard & drums (Percussion). I play many tunes by The Shadows and I am heavily into them.

    Guitars: '98 Fender Stratocaster Hank Marvin Signature (CIJ - Fiesta Red)
    60th Anniversary Fender Stratocaster (Mexican Standard - Metallic Dark Blue)
    And Various Fender Strat Copies.....

    Amps: Fender Frontman 212R (Originally 100W - 2x50W. Now 2x 150W)
    Fender Frontman 15G (Just a Practice Amp)
    VOX Valvetronix ADVT50 (I use the AC30 Setting for The Classic Shadows Sound)

    Effects: Zoom G2 (Fitted With Charlie Hall's Echoes From The Past)

    Accessories: Hank Marvin "Easy-Mute" Tremolo Arm (Silver)


    That sum's my guitar stuff up. I hope I enjoy my time on here,

    Thanks guys,

    Regards,
    Robson Field

    Hi, Robson. Those Hank strats are nice whether they say "Fender" or "Squier Silver Series".

    Do tell about the Frontman 212 conversion. It's the kind of project that goes down well around here...
    Electric: Fat strat > Korg PB > TS7 > DS1 > DD-20 > Cube 60 (Fender model)

    Acoustic: Guitar > microphone > audience

    Welcome to the Fret Robson.

    I can only echo what some others have said, it is extremely refreshing to see someone your age with such great taste in music.

    Glad to have you here.
