Simon Hinkler’s custom guitar is a Delia, one of First Act’s three signature body styles. Its semi-hollow body has a vintage look, harking back to Hinkler’s rockabilly/ Teddy Boy-steeped roots, hot in the pre-punk days of Great Britain. The guitar’s semi-hollow design and f holes deliver superior resonance and robust acoustic tone. It is crafted with ash for increased sustain, which is ideal for the crooning riffs that populate Hinkler’s playing style.
