Was the recently deceased President of Venezuela a Shads enthusiast??

Looks suspiciously like a Strat copy, but not too sure about that of his compadre!

They're obviously recreating a Hank/Ben dual from Hank's solo tours. They've even got right guitar for "Ben", and his hair's nearly the right style, too! Never seen Hank wear a red beret, though.

With the hate Chavez had for the USA I doubt if the guitar would be American made.

I'll suggest it may even be a Samick as the headstock is of a Samick style

Regrettably Chavez was a very nasty piece of work indeed - as John Peel used to say - "good riddance".

Looking at the size of the guy, the strap wouldn't be long enough to go in the normal position!

Cheers.
