Moreover, when I spent an evening with him a few years back, he asserted that Hank's Strat was not the first in UK, The Fentones lead player had one earlier...
Come on historians... prove him wrong...

Regarding the semi-acoustic Bruce is clutching rather than posing as playing, the fancy split-delta position markers and hooked cutaways confirm it's a Yamaha, perhaps even belonging to Bert, as he used to play just such a model, although here he's brandishing a more upmarket example from the same maker. This shot is from 1992, but I believe that these days the great man slums it on a Strat.
