You are great! And speaking about guitars, have they progressed or changed much since the Beatles` times?

duh, of course. I think the best guitars are mostly from the 50s, well and maybe from the 60s, but IMO just because of fender stratocaster. though there are many people who thinks that les pauls are overrated guitars, but again IMO les pauls are the greatest and most beautiful guitars that ever existed, even if it's extremely hard to play. Gibson guitars are the greatest, fender mainly would be at 2th place. its says that only the greatest guitarists can play with it, (Paul and George also have played, and John with the gibson too, but with the different a bit). so yes to your question. now it's just a "who is faster". now guitars are very lame and sloppy. today's guitars are just for speed, and the speed is not important.
I mean it looks so bad-ass to play with this guitar, but all of those guitars like this are just for eyes:
I mean that's a beauties:

Hi everybody!! ;)
I enclose a photo of the 'Viola de fado de luxo' that my friend Domingos Martins Machado, 'violeiro' (=i.e., instrument maker) from Tebosa (=Braga - Northern Portugal) made for George Harrison in 1993 under Donovan's order. Being Donovan playing at Northern Portugal at those days he went to Martins Machado atelier and ordered him the guitar for George. After a few months, Donovan received news from Domingos that the guitar was ready, so he went there -on 14 June that year-, payed for the guitar the equivalent of today 1646
