The Original strat that Cliff bought to Hank was a 59 model with gold hardware and highly figured birdseye maple neck. Cliff had that painted white and Bruce got it from Cliff in the late 70s (you can see him play it at the concerts in the early 80s). In 1983 Bruce had it sprayed red again, though not the correct fiesta red (it has a slight blue-ish tint today). The guitar featured on this video is the guitar that Hank bought in Paris in France in 1981. It is a 1958 model. This is the guitar Hank used in the 80s until he got Custom Shop Signature models in late 80s, early 90s. He now has 3 Custom Shop strats. They are based around the 58 and 59 with a slightly chunkier neck (to avoid strings being dragged of the fretboard so easily), 22 frets, graphite nut and locking keys. One of his custom shops has piezo pickup to emulate acoustic guitars (he uses it on tunes as Sasha live). The concert Together from 1984 has Hank using this guitar (the '58) and Bruce uses the one that Cliff bought for Hank in 1959. (thats Bruces main guitar now and has been since the early 80s). In the 70s and after his Burns were stolen in Paris, Hank bought a 68 Stratocaster that was white with tortoiseshell pickugard (same as his Burns). This was later painted black and had gold hardware fitted and went through a lot of modifications (at some point it had Gibson humbucker). The picups it had eventually was Seymour Duncan SSL1 (middle and neck) and DiMarzio FS-1 bridge. This was also the pickups on Hanks Signature Models in the early and mid 90s. He later switched to Kinmans.

so the original doesn’t exsist basically 😂
@BlubberBrother1672Painted trillions of times is not original. 🎸 🤔
@BlubberBrother1672 Indeed. 🤔
The original was what drove me to own a 1959 I rebuilt as a project guitar. Thanks to Hank I have owned many Fiesta red Stratocasters over the years. Always buy red ones, people don't think you have another new one!
Thank you Hank Marvin for you inspiring me to learn to play guitars.
Hank Marvin has inspired so many people to play guitar including lots of the great and the good.
I didn't make the "great and the good", but I did learn and play a lot of Shadows tunes back in the 60's. Hank Marvin was a hero. 😉
Although this guitar has probably been sold, are the pickups kinman A56 impersonators, which i don't think are available anymore. If
So I am interested in the guitar. Thanks
hi i would just like to say that i love Hank Marvin s music and this guitar is a great Fender Strat i love it
Hank Marvin is one off best in world 🎸🎸🎸 love shop
I own a Mexican made Fender Stratocaster and I love it . It's a Kingfisher colour.
You and millions more.
Hank is the best
Great to see such a special guitar.
Nice videos on Hank and his guitars thanks 😊 🎸
Hank Marvin was the guitarist that made Fender a lot of money.
We all wanted a Fiesta Red Strat, the original ones are now highly
collectable, but for me they have to be in mint condition.
Why people buy "Relic" guitars is beyond me.
If you listen to the very early shadows recordings the sound was unique, It is very much of that time & will remain so. They were a bit raw as it was analogue, that adds to the validation
@@malcolmlyndsell5009 Some of the early recordings were made with other guitars than the Strat, hence the difference in sound, plus the technology of the time put it's own stamp on the end result.
Without the infamous echo box which was analog tape based, Hank would never have developed his unique sound.
@Matt y I think Relic guitars are a personal choice and have only become available in recent years.
A 1958 Strat would have a Nitro Cellulose finish that would wear down with playing, todays guitars have a much tougher Poly clear coat which
might go dull, but won't wear through playing.
The only way to replicate a worn Nitro finish is to use techniques to
replicate a road worn guitar.
I don't want a brand new worn guitar.
As for Fenders Custom Shop quality, it is not always that good.
I ordered a Bonnie Raitt Custom Shop Strat, waited a very long time
for it to arrive in very poor condition, the finish had numerous fine scratches, a ding in the headstock, all the trem screw heads were chewed up, i rejected it on the spot, even the dealer was shocked.
@Matt y Fender Strats have always been hit and miss, but when you find a better than average sample, no other guitar makes you want to play it.
I bought a mint unplayed USA 90's Strat in Candy Apple Red off ebay a few years ago, i was very lucky to be the only bidder, the seller had spent months looking for a perfect sample to keep as an investment.
I paid £600 ( approx $800) for it, todays USA models are more than double that price.
Unless you are prepared to pay Suhr or PRS USA prices, quality is always going to be down to finding that perfect sample
You could say the same regarding Jimi Hendrix and Ritchie Blackmore, both legendary Strat players
great video wow what a guitar so much history
I met Ben after a Hank concert in Manchester. I was hanging around the stage door hoping for a quick photo, but Hank didn't come out. As I was about to go to my car I saw Ben asking somebody the way to Chinatown. So I showed him the way there. Then I had to get back to my car. It was a great show though!
Lovely video!!! Twang!!!
Beautiful color.
Great sense of humour Ben brilliant guy
Those early colors were General Motors colors from the 50's. Fender used Duco brand nitrocellulose paint back then.
Ben is a very good guitarist also. He played with "Bond".
It was Cliff's guitar all the time until he gave it to Bruce. It was a "thank you" for producing Cliff's album which relaunched his career.
I remember reading somewhere that they (Cliff, Hank and Bruce) had decided between them that it would belong to whichever of the three outlived the other two!!
@@cwam1701e Bruce appears with the original Strat and says Cliff gave it to him for producing a hit album in the 70s. I think I'll go with that.
@@harvey1954 I wasn't challenging your statement; what I said does not contradict what you said!
@@cwam1701e It's no big deal. You did offer an alternative scenario which involved the owner getting the famous Strat by "outliving" the other two people involved. However, all are still alive and Bruce owns it. It was Cliff's reward to Bruce for putting him back into the charts.
Lol - you two don't argue! 😂😂 - both of you are right!!! 😍🤣🤣

I thought Hanks guitar had gold hardware? I have a 56 Fiesta red custom shop reissue with the gold hardware and I believe hank bought three 56 custom shop reissue strats at one stage and had them all with different gauge strings on them. As thousands of guitarists Hank was the reason I started playing and I've had a wonderful semi professional career for the last 55 years. I met my wife while out playing so it's all Hanks fault lol.
Hank’s original Strat had gold hardware. He then switched to a 60s with rosewood fingerboard and ‘silver’ hardware. He then switched to Burns before returning to a black Strat in the 70s. In the early-mid 80s he switched back to a Fiesta red Strat: that’s this one. It’s the guitar he played at Jean-Michel Jarre’s ‘88 London concert, the Cliff and the Shads ‘84 shows, and when he guested with Dire Straits at Wembley in ‘85. It was his main guitar until he got the Fender Signature (around 1999) which has gold hardware like the first one.
Hanks first Stratocaster (that Bruce now has) was a 1959 model with gold hardware and highly figured birdseye mpl neck. As Rob mentions, after that he switched to a rosewood strat and after that the Burns, and in the 70s a sunburst 69 model that was later painted black and went through a myriad of upgrades and changes. He bought a 1958 model in a shop in Paris in 1981 (the one that is featured here) and that was the guitar he used throughout the 80s. That one did not have gold hardware nor highly figured neck (apart from late 80s when he switched the neck to a Giffin, but it was later switched back after the original neck was restored). In early 90s UK distributor Arbiter cooperated with Hank creating the Signature Strat. That was a guitar was based on the Strat Plus featuring the new American Standard bridge system, a bit fatter neck in higly figured AAA birdseye and 22 frets (the 50s models have 21), unlike the vintage models it was also sprayed using Polyurethane. So much more of a "modern" strat than an old one. The pickups were Seymour Duncan SSL1 Middle and Neck, and DiMarzio FS1 Bridge. It also had a push / pull know (like the Burns) to give possibilities for 2 more pickup positions (Neck & Bridge and All). He later got two more from the Custom shop. These had the vintage bridge. One had Piezo system for accousting guitar sound, as you can see when he plays Sasha live. They have been equipped with different pickups. Most of the time Kinmans. Its true that he uses different gauges of strings. 0.11-0.49 for "modern Stuff" and thicker strings (0.12 or 0.13) for older stuff. All of them also had black Teflon nut (as you can see he has also fitted on his old 58 in this video). He also started using the "easy mute" tremolo arm. The 56 Custom shop reissue Strats are awesome instruments (in many ways the best you can get) but they are not very simmilar to Hanks newer strats. They are more similar to his original 1959 model that he used for the Apache recording.
Cliff bought the iconic guitar for Hank to play. It is a 1959 not a 58. That was from Hank himself.
My favorite color is green that green Fender would be awesome to own.🤘
This is not the original Strat bought by Cliff Richard for Hank in 1959, it's the Strat that Hank bought from Patrice Bastien in Paris in 1981.
CORRECT!!!
Does mention that in the video. Well, not the store it was purchased from.
@@photonatjag
Altough Patrice Bastien had a store in Paris (near place de la Nation), Hank didn't came to it. in december 1980 Hank came to Paris for a concert, and Patrice was asked to come at Hank's hotel with the vintage Strats he had (it was the Concorde Lafayette hotel, place de la porte Maillot in Paris, now the Hyatt Regency).
Patrice came with two Strats, the 1958 fiesta red one, and another one which I don't know what it was. Hank immediatly selected the 1958 fiesta red one. The guitar wasn't paid immediarly, Patrice received later a cheque from Poydor.
@@78Dipar I wasn't doubting the store and purchase location you mention. I only mention that it was mentioned in the video that the strat wasn't the one Cliff purchased, but didn't mention in the video where this strat was purchased.
@@photonatjag
In fact he didn't purchase it himself, as it was paid by Polydor !
Watching two guys each with leg/knee trembles is a little beyond my threshold of tolerance. I'm 'otta here!
Me too! Drives me nuts! What's more, the content of the video is nondescript, to say the least. In fact, it's two arseholes boring the arse of viewers.
Issues everywhere? That’s a bummer that everybody is set off by everyone else nowadays? Live and let live..enjoy my friends.
Chas McDevitt had the first Strat in the UK of " Freight Train " fame .
I remember years ago hanks original guitar what cliff bought for him was worth £250,000 god knows what it's worth today no wonder Bruce borrowed it
Hiya I’m totally blind I think this video is well together well and to you and Hank Marvin and then all the best take care keep safe well done
Don't read this, then. And don't make blind people sound dumb.
I realise this is an older video but someone will know, I believe Hank was given a Strat by Fender, Fiesta red with gold trim, and the neck plate engraved ‘To Hank from your friends at Fender’ and I think serial No2. How does this guitar fit into the scheme of Marvin guitars?
Should have let Ben plug in. Absolutely top player.
I seen to remember some early shadows footage and the guys where rocking BURNS OF LONDON GUITARS.... did they have a spell playing BURNS or am I mistaken?.... Hank legend 👍
No ,the memory isn't going ..they did play Burns for a while and they even produce "Marvin" signature guitars today ,although they look a little different to the "Bisons?" they used in the 60's
Nicely nabbed Bruce.
Let's hear it ?🎸
Where's Hank?
its perfecto
Relic'd guitars - made for those who want to look as if they've played for years and see their instrument(s) as looking like badges of merit that they have never really earned.
hank said his original strat was a 59?
it was and it is
@@lapitch1 hi yep that’s right and Hank Marvins 1958 Fender strat is also original too apart from the pick ups
The serial number of Hank's original Strat is 34346 which according to Fender records was built in 1959.
@@daverobinson22 yeah i thought it was a 59, and not a 58.
Yes it is and that one is now in the hands of Bruce. Bruce got this guitar from Cliff in 1979. Cliff had it painted white. So you can see Bruce plays that on the Shadows Concerts in the early 80s. In 1983 (or early 84) it was painted red again (though not the correct color as it is a slightly blue tinted). So Hanks original 59 has been Bruces main guitar since the early 80s
Bruce ‘borrowed it’ and never gave it back. Every loopy muso!
Are the pickups A56 kinman impersonators
I think Ben is being a little disingenuous here... even though he may be joking. The original '59 Strat technically belonged to Cliff. Hank gave it back to Cliff. Cliff, several years later, then gave it to Bruce. They (Hank, Bruce and Cliff) all joke about being the rightful owners (or not), but they all know the truth. And I suspect Ben does too. If Cliff really wanted it back, he'd get it.
Its exactly as you say it is. Bruce's autobiography in 1989 Rock n Roll I gave you the best years of life. He says this too.
Wow…….
Thanks goodness we didn't get to hear it.
That guitar is worth way more than the Greeny moore Les Paul that Kirk bought for 2 million ,,,
CLICK bait thumbnail! DON'T show Hank if you're NOT going to have him in the clip!
I had a 69 black strat....traded it for a dirt bike back when I was young n dumb.
There's a third Fiesta Red strat in the mix, one which nobody ever mentions.

That one was used in the sixties and is actually a lot of live footage of the band, it can be told apart from the other two by it having a rosewood board.
I wonder what happened to that one?
And after that he got a White Strat. That he used until he started playing Burns.
I wonder how much?
it would of been nice to of heard it eh 🙂
What's it like being on board?....choppy. How do you project backwards?
I'd get those shaky legs checked out.
Especially since it's clearly catching.
They all keep mentioning Bruce and that strat…. I get the feeling it’s not as friendly as they say on camera.
I didn't know Bill Gates had a red Stratocaster.
Nah Ben its Cliffs it was his money that bought it.
Smarts like lemon juice in a paper cut at 2.11
63 year old not 67 yet
Is it for sale?
Yep, At least 100K.
hi the guitar is not for sale
Re that Strat: Cliff thinks it's his and should come back to him...
no the original one is in the hands of bruce welch
If you are lucky enough to own a 1950s guitar and play and look after it ,it will get worn in a natural way .Love it and play it .I cannot get my head round buying a road worn or heavy relic brand new guitar of any make .You are playing a lie and wearing a badge of a lie.Just my feeling.
What Guitars were made in Australia?
"Maton"......Fairly high end acoustics....Tommy Emmanuel is their most obvious brand ambassador.Still made today.
Maton also produced an electric bass too.
5:22 seems to say 67 year old guitar - do the math?!?!
I thought Bruce Welch had it???
He said himself, it was something called aztec red. Not fiesta nor salmon
The original has gold hardware
Pretty sad. Hank Marvin made history with those noisy pickups and so they made sure not to record with them? Beyond sad....
This guitar makes relicing look like a delusional cult.
I couldn't agree more. I work with pianos dating back to the 1700's. A 60 year old instrument is not old. It could gig every week for decades & survive with a couple of dings. Most of them do. Relicing is bizarre.
Bruce Welch nicked it 😂 😂
Why dont you play the bloody thing for christ sake
all hank did was play it DID NOT MAKE IT LOL
Displayed guitars..... 🤢🤮!
Im the one to support u
