Hi Everyone,
Just a quick heads up to say there is a 9-10 page article featuring Hank in Issue 420 of 'Guitarist' magazine. It includes a collection of 'interviews' by various luminaries including Brian May, Peter Frampton, Steve Howe, Dave Davies, Martin Taylor, Phil Manzanera, Steve Hackett, Guthrie Govan and several others. A very interesting read and, I'm sure, answers many of our questions as well.
Regards,
Mike

His full length photo occupies pride of place on the front cover of the magazine. He is holding his iconic Signature Strat. With the help of a magnifying glass I identified the 3 pups as hum cancelling Kinman Hx. Can we assume he used this Strat on his latest album?

Hi Mike,
If you look at the Alfie official posting on Ytube then you can see his pickup covers are marked as Kinmans.
Regards
Steve

Hi Steve, Mike,
I was with Hank at the early stage of recording his latest CD and he said that he wanted a smoother sound, rather than the more vintage sound of the CS54's he used on the Reunited tour. So I swapped them out for the Kinmans he had been using previously.
Paul.

I've noticed that all the retailers selling the magazine always have only one or maybe two left of the Hank issue in the 'Guitarist' slot - less then usual and the other music mags - the old boy still sells it seems?!

Hello Paul,
Are the kinmans the "Vintage Hank Kinmans" or are they the "modern hank"?

Hi Joe,
They are his original FV-HMS set, comprising AVn-64 / AVn-63.
Regards,
Paul.

Speaking for myself I wouldn't have a clue. Thanks for your contribution, Paul. Do you know whether Hank visits these forums, or are you under an unofficial 'NDA' and are not permitted to say? 👹 Regards, Mike |

Hi,
Hank was definitely NOT using flat-wounds. I don't think that he browses any of the Shadow forums and I am just a friend who keeps his amplifiers and echoes sorted and also helps with his pickups as needed.
Regards,
Paul.

Hi Paul,
Okay, fair enough. Didn't really mean to put you on the spot but you can't blame a chap for trying!
Regards,
Mike
