HANK MARVIN (THE SHADOWS) STRATOCASTER – LUTHIER CRAFTED
Hank Marvin (The Shadows) Stratocaster – This is a guitar crafted for me by a respected Luthier to my specifications. The body is a two-piece alder crafted to Fender’s own specification and finished in Fiesta Red by Northwest Guitars. These are manufactured as near to Fender’s specifications as possible and are compatible with original Fender parts. Northwest Guitars also spend a lot of time on their colours; especially the early 50's ones like this one in Fiesta Red to ensure aesthetic authenticity. The neck is in beautiful birds eye maple as was Hank’s original guitar, and was crafted by WD Music who are licensed by Fender. It does have a Fender decal on the headstock but it is a Luthier crafted guitar. The white scratch plate and electrics including Sky pickups are manufactured by Dongho Electronics of Korea who also make Kent Armstrong pickups. (Distributed by WD Music). The guitar has been crafted with gold coloured hardware to emulate the complete Hank Marvin look. The tuners are Gotoh and the strings are Fender nickel-plated steel.L Light). String packet in the case as case candy. There is a very small blemish on the fretboard between the third and fourth frets on the fifth string, it is hard to see but a photo is included for the sake of honesty. The guitar is housed in a moulded aluminum hard case manufactured by Spider,which affords superb protection to it. The ‘Hank Marvin’ look is completed with a genuine ‘Fender FS1 Deluxe Wide Padded Leather Strap’, these are no longer made and are now hard to find! I have included a picture of Hank using his guitar and strap (not this one) on the Final Tour in . This is a great chance to emulate your hero at a fraction of the price of a genuine Fender ‘Hank Marvin’ Stratocaster. The guitar, the strap and the case although used are all in great overall condition, you are very welcome to try the guitar before buying. CASH ON COLLECTION ONLY PLEASE. £ ONO. Read More
