1962 Custom Fender Stratocaster Guitar With Case

Serial #: 84187. Includes a photo as well as a CD of Cliff G. Hanley and The Montels. The Montels played mostly in the U.K. from 1970s to the late-1980.

From Cliff G. Hanley's sister: Cliff had bought the guitar in Glasgow, Scotland in the late 1970s. The instrument never left his possession until three years ago when he suffered a bleed on the brain which left him without the use of his left arm. Besides being a prolific painter, with exhibitions in London and New York, Cliff was also an author, and that led to quite a lot of confusion. He shared the same name as our father, who was famous in Scotland as an author, composer and journalist who wrote the lyrics to our national anthem, the Oscar winning film "Seawards the Great Ships" and penned more than 30 fiction and non fiction books. So when Cliff junior started writing, he made sure that his middle initial "G" was always included.
