2008 Fender Custom Shop ’56 Stratocaster NOS
First of all PLEASE WATCH MY LONG REVIEW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/zaoNrKwcW6I
Hank is in the house! Oh Hank…thanks for influencing so many of us!
This is such a classic looking, legendary guitar. Fiesta Red finish, ULTRA HIGHLY GRADED Birds Eye Maple Neck (it even has some flames), actually it’s one of the best looking Fender guitar necks I’ve ever seen…gold hardware, it even comes with a pre-installed Hank Marvin “Easy Mute” Tremolo Arm (the original is in the hard case)…
The guitar is in very looked after condition, apart from 2 tiny little marks (seriously) the guitar is in MINT condition. Please check my video and photos!
The most important is the sound and that is absolutely Custom Shop – top end quality. When I was playing the demos I couldn’t decide which pickup selection should I use as all sounded spotless! So typical bell like low end and very nice note separation!!! The neck feels and plays absolutely top class! As you can imagine from a Custom Shop Strat.
I’m sure you know that the price of these are absolutely horrendous and it is going to be much worse from the next tax year (thanks to brexit-covid-war-inflation etc…) so maybe this is the last time you can buy one of these below £3K second hand. This neck alone is worth a lot of money…the new guitars in the shops don’t have such highly figured and graded necks anymore…
Nice shape, very looked after original condition with a great setup for a great price! It includes it original hard case and candy (please check the photos and video!)
