Get the DVD from AMAZON.co.uk! This is a seven minute taster of THE STRATOCASTER LEGEND film we made in 2004, starring Hank Marvin and Dick Dale. It chronicles the origins of this famous electric guitar and its maker. We shot it in both the Strat’s birthplace in California and the UK.

Hi there, here’s a bit of information if you need it!
The guitars in your local shop are likely to be “Tribute” G&L” models. The genuine USA handmade models are still made in Fullerton California and are naturally rather expensive. However in 2003 G&L introduced the Tribute series to the US market as a more affordable alternative to USA built products. G&L has this facility in Indonesia, apparently using USA pickups

everything by hand??? the G & L guitars in my local shop say “made in indonesia”
Só ninja !!!!
@septip123 Dale is nothing more than a joke
does dick dale have something against steve vai? lol
1:02 : why is he referring to himself in the 3rd person?
@killbillyjoe If you own “over 17 of them” why dont you just say “I own 18 of them.” LMAO Or can you not count that high?
no offense to Clapton, but he bores me :-/
Well thanks Chris… it was really special to meet both Hank and Dick in the making of this film and let them talk about their past and the strats which brought them fame without interruption. It was our pilgrimage to Orange County and is unforgettable!

I saw Dick Dale a few times in the early 80’s when he was making his ‘comeback’–the most memorable was at the Golden Bear in Huntignton Beach Calif..what a jamming show..went with a friend who later on went on to playing surf guitar in a local band, The Eliminators..Dick is right, his playing is so intense that even the audience feels like they’ve been in a fight..it’s great!
I got this DVD today from Amazon and it was a very enjoyable documentary about my favourite electric guitar. Was brilliant to see the evolution of Fender and how much respect is shown for the Stratocaster after so many years.
Really well done guys. Must have been brilliant to meet Hank Marvin too
Best wishes
Stratocasters are definately one of the finest guitars on the planet!
i own over 17 of them ! love Fender!
Dick Dale/Surf Guitar. The Americanist of American rock. You hear that guitar sound and instantly you’re transported to a time and place. It’s an attitude as much as it’s music.
*sigh* its not that hard, just check out dick dales wiki, and you’ll know why he is a legend. he may not be the most technical player, and I have no clue about his intelect, but that is not really relevant, is it?

I feel like Dick Dale doesn’t realize SRV has been dead for 20 years.
@yellow2000fluff That is why he spends his time posting on here
@hazor777 Still not set straight. DD is a clown
Hank Marvin is one of the worlds greatest guitarist. God nows who this dd donut is.
the reason you feel like you were fighting in a karate tournament after you play is because you’re outta shape. hahahah. DIck Dale is awesome
@Tubbyduff : “he’s not a particularly good player” – total IGNORANCE. You’re lucky I even give a shit to set you straight.DD’s tone & sound was unique @the time b/c amps did not distort unless the volume was maxed out and caused the amp to be overdriven. As far as his playing goes, he’s an awesome player (cont.)
