Hi there,
I'm Tuck Hersey.

Who's Tuck?

Tuck Hersey is a radio DJ residing in Sapporo, the capital city of Hokkaido, a big north island of Japan, known for what he calls "groove talk" alomst like music, using his deep ear-pleasing voice and deeper understanding of music in general. He is currently hosting “Sapporo Hot 100,” a four-hour live countdown show on FM North Wave.
He first heard the “yeah yeah yeah” on the radio when he was three years old without knowing the song was performed by the Beatles. Upon finding out the song was the band’s 1963 huge hit, he picked up his first guitar and started his musical journey, ending up becoming a musician producing various songs for commercials. He made his debut as a radio DJ in 1987 and has been playing and sharing good music with listeners for nearly 40 years.
He performs Beatles music with his band at local clubs and writes music for commercials. He is also known as an enthusiastic fan of John Lennon’s 1958 Rickenbacker 325 guitar, and his 325 that he completely modified into the exact Lennon specs is widely known to the world. A well-experienced loyal servant to his cat Matty.

Rickenbacker 325 Lennonized

John Lennon played four Rickenbacker guitars in his Beatle years.  The Rickenbacker 325C58 is a replica of the first of the four, the 1958 Rickenbacker 325 that he purchased in Hamburg before The Beatles became famous.  I have done everything I could to modefy the guitar into the exact Lennon specs.
