'I got a Gretsch Country Gent, which is great to play - a really thick, nasty beast! If you hit it a bit too hard then the bridge moves about and it goes badly out of tune, but I got some great feedback out of it. We had loads of amps on the go at once, with all the mics in different positions; everything was thunderingly loud. I've got a Fender Dual Showman that gives a bonkers sound - it's a top with two 15" speakers, like Chuck Berry used to use.'

Hawley states in [this](https://www.soundonsound.com/sos/oct07/articles/richardhawley.htm) Sound On Sound article: “I have about 50 or 60 guitars: old Gretsches like the ’64 Tennessean, ’66 Country Gent, ’65 Clipper, ’66 Nashville, three 6120s of varying vintage, a lovely ’66 Gibson 335, a Baldwin 12–string from ’67, a ’50s Silvertone, a couple of baritones."
