While Duane did not have much of a chance to show off this guitar before his untimely passing in October of 1971 quite a few recordings are floating around in which he played it. Our favorites are: Boston Common on 08/17/71, A & R Studios on 26th August 1971 and S.U.N.Y. At Stonybrook on 09/19/71. Having a listen to any or all of these will clearly reveal the power and heat Duane loved so much about this guitar (and its P.A.F.s).
As with the Layla/Fillmore Set, the ear is the most useful tool in reproducing such a tribute sound and we believe we have replicated Hot ‘Lanta to perfection. When that tribute is applied to the articulation, responsiveness, sustain, bloom, decay and chiminess of the Wizz Premium Clone P.A.F. Pickup Set you will find a set of pickups that you will never want to part with.
