Always been a lot of disscussion regarding certain Shads recordings being done on prototype Burns or a Strat.
Atlantis and Geronimo to name a couple. Just had a thought (not often these days) but it seems that Hank would have a few guitars available at recording sessions, therefore he may have used different guitars for different takes. So it seems possible that some numbers were recorded using both prototype Burns and a Strat. It seems the Shads didnt always have the last choice in which take was issued, (often on tour and out of the country) so even they may not be aware as to which guitar was used on the issued track. The recordings of course are usually released a few months after the recording date. I believe that Atlantis is a mixture of two different takes - the muted intro and the main theme - could this be both Burns and Strat ? Licorace always said he remembers a Burns being used on the Atlantis recording sessions. Just a thought - no doubt you will all have your own.
