Here for sale we have a Fender CIJ Hank Marvin Signature Stratocaster Electric Guitar in Vintage Fiesta Red finish. Crafted in Japan in 1997, this bolt-on neck constructed guitar consists of a Solid Ash body, a Maple neck, and a 21-fret Maple fingerboard. Other appointments include a 6-Point Vintage Style Tremolo with “Fender” stamped saddles, Pure Vintage style tuners, and a set of Alnico 50’s Reissue Strat pickups that are wired to a master volume, neck tone control, a middle tone control, and a 5-way pickup selector. The Maple neck plays very well, with the ‘V’ Shape profile feeling nicely slim in the hand and providing effortless playability in all registers. Certainly, the profile helps to facilitate fast and articulate lead lines. The Gloss finish to the rear of the neck is glass-like to the touch and really helps with smooth navigation of the 25.5" scale. The Maple fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with a period-correct 7.25" radius and vintage-style frets ensures an authentically vintage playing experience across the neck. The smooth lines of the Stratocaster body are as comfortable in the arms as ever, ensuring comfort in both standing and seated positions. The trio of 50’s Reissue Alnico Single-Coils installed in this guitar deliver authentic vintage-inspired tones thanks to their period accurate specification. Pole pieces are staggered for a balanced output, whilst the Alnico magnets are employed to produce a bright, glassy tone. The neck is warm and round, with all of the power needed to push your solos to the front of the mix. The middle is punchy and clear for those funky tones, whilst the bridge produces a searing output for bright and focussed rock rhythm tones. This is a fantastically authentic vintage-inspired piece that will age very gracefully.
