Custom Built Fender Stratocaster Fiesta Red Hank Marvin The Shadows

Custom made guitar based on a Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster. Fiesta red with gold hardware.

I wanted to have a guitar built using top of the range parts so I bought all the pieces and had a guitar specialist assemble them and set it up for me. The body is 1 piece solid light weight swamp ash bought in from the USA. I had it shaped at the base of the neck like the American Deluxe Strat design and found a neck plate to suit. It's finished Fiesta red using Nitrocellulose paint. The pickguard is 1 ply white.

The tremolo is a gold plated Wilkinson Gotoh VSVG fitted with a Hank Marvin VML Easy mute tremolo arm. The Pickups are a Kinman HM Marvin set. The strap locks are Schaller quick release.

The tuners are a Schaller M6 locking set. The pots and electronics are to the Fender S-1 switching system which gives more tonal options, as per the American Deluxe model. The trees are revolving ones. The guitar was assembled and set up by specialist Gareth Lewis of Grangetown, Cardiff. He was an authorised fitter of the Buzz Feiten tuning system which is a special shelf nut at the top of the neck which eliminates sharp notes at the first 3 frets.
