I am seventeen in this photo. I can’t play the guitar yet but I’ve got a fair idea on how to pose. My father made the guitar from imagination. The other guitar in the corner of the photo is my first electric, a Teisco. It was sunburst and I painted it with black house-paint. My lead guitarist mate Mario ‘Wally ’ Ambrosini (see ‘Acme Cat’) built the speaker boxes in my old man’s shed which you can see to the right.
