1992 Fender Hank Marvin Custom Shop Stratocaster Vintage Fiesta Red Number 11 of 100

1992 Fender Hank Marvin Custom Shop Stratocaster Vintage Fiesta Red Number 11 of 100

This is one of the original "Signature" versions that were made in 1992 in the early years of the Fender Custom Shop,

With a limited run of just 100 instruments made, it is a very rare and collectible guitar. This guitar is also number 011, and of further interest is the fact that it has actually been signed on the back of the headstock by Hank Marvin himself.

Hank Marvin has also signed the certificate of authenticity, which also has the legendary signature of Fender Custom Shop's founding father, John Page, ( He was one of the original Custom Shop master builders, and headed the small team at the very start of the project back in 1987) This guitar also displays the original Cuson Shop logo on the back of the headstock.

The guitar is being sold with the ultimate providence, actual photographs of Mr Hank Marvin signing the instrument for the original owner. It has its original bill of sale, the UK "Music Mart" magazine advert, Fender handbook, Fender lead and strap all in its original Tweed case!

This is a treasured one-owner guitar from new. The overall condition is excellent with no cracks and aside from one very tiny ding towards the edge of the back contour (see photo) we can find no other mark on this instrument. This guitar is also being sold with a slightly longer Fender Gold tremolo arm.
Hanks's specification includes:

Two Seymour Duncan SSL's and a DiMarzio FS-1 bridge pickup, these are the original fitment.
Gold Hardware, with locking Sperzel machine heads.
