Forty instruments were hand made in Fender’s US Custom Shop in 1998, to Hank’s specifications. Â
The two-piece construction is of light-weight ash, finished in vintage Fiesta Red with gold hardware including a Fender Classic Bridge, three Kinman HS pickups, and a white single-ply scratch plate with eight securing screws. Â
The neck is made, to a 9.6″ radius, from limited edition birds-eye maple; fitted with gold Sperzel machine heads and twenty-two medium jumbo frets. Â
A vintage logo and Hank Marvin’s signature (with a genuine ruby dotting the “i”) adorn the headstock. Â
The instruments were retro-fitted (in the UK) with LEDs, which are set into the fret markers on the upper side of the neck. Â
As originally supplied, the string gauges are 0.010″ to 0.046″ (as used by Hank Marvin).
