Fender Custom Shop 56 NOS Strat Custom in Fiesta Red with Custom Shop "upgrades" With Hank Marvin and The Shadows 50th Anniversary this year what better time to treat yourself to a Fender guitar ? Pictured here is a limited edition Fender Custom Shop Strat in Fiesta Red. The Fender Custom Shop only make a few of these guitars each year and so far they have ONLY been available at Guitar Mania.
Please note this is NOT a Fender Custom Shop HANK MARVIN Signature Strat. Nor does it have any official association with any Hank Marvin trademarks, affiliations with him or The Shadows. The guitar is a Fender, many people play Fenders and Hank was one of them and I reserve the right to mention that while describing guitars and people who have played them.
From the OFFICIAL Fender UK Website: www.fender.co.uk: "Hank Marvin plays a Fiesta Red Custom Shop Stratocaster with a birdseye maple neck and gold hardware"
About the guitar:
The guitar we have for sale is a Fender Custom Shop 56 NOS Strat Custom (team built) and a cross between a 56 NOS Strat and a Custom Classic but with some tasty upgrades like 22 Fret (instead of the 56 NOS neck which has only 21 frets) , AA grade Birds Eye Maple neck (instead of the plain maple), neck in gloss on front and satin on the back, noiseless pickups (instead of vintage 56 pickups) and Sperzel Gold Locking Tuners (instead of vintage machineheads) - see the spec below for details. Here are some pics of the last one we sold. They are all very similar but there WILL be subtle variations in grain of the wood, but ALL are built to Fender Custom Shop high standards.
 
Guitar Mania Says:
This guitar is absolutely gorgeous. We've sold a number of these over the past couple of years. Bizarrely they are the same price as a 56 NOS Strat but in my opinion BETTER ! A great feeling neck. Satin on the back for comfort, gloss on the front for durability and glamour with a modern easy playing shape. Superb tone - the vintage noiseless pickups behave exactly as you would expect. Quiet and tasteful. Plus THAT look ! Think of Hank Marvin and you think of a suit, a pair of glasses and a Red Fender Strat ! The guitar will come with a Certificate of Authenticity, Fender Tweed Hard Case, Strap and Cable.
