The Wonders, those one-and-gone hitmakers from the 60s, used Silvertone guitars and amps early in their career.
Lead player Lenny Haise can
be seen in early promo shots and the cover of the "That Thing You
Do" 45 picture sleeve with his trusty 1457. Lenny also recorded the hit
version of "TTYD" with the 1457 running through a 1484 amp.
The band appeared as Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters in the movie "Weekend at
Party Pier," and you can see T.B. Player fakin' it with a Kay-made sea foam green
Silvertone
1413.
Sadly, the Wonders didn't last past their hit single and
subsequent tour. Truly one-hit 'Wonders.'
