Debuting in 1954, the Stratocaster remains unparalleled in its adaptability as a solid body guitar. Icons such as Jimi Hendrix, Richie Blackmore, and Ike Turner have all demonstrated its versatility across diverse music genres.

This pristine 1957 Stratocaster doesn't just exemplify the quintessential design of this celebrated solid body guitar; it also boasts a historic ownership. The legendary Hank Marvin cherished it for over two decades!

Recognized as one of the pioneering guitar maestros, Hank Marvin's contributions, along with his band, The Shadows, ushered in a new era for guitar-focused music in Europe during the late 1950s. Indeed, before the arrival of Jimi Hendrix, Marvin and Buddy Holly were monumental in inspiring budding musicians to desire a Stratocaster of their own.

This magnificent instrument was later part of the ensemble owned by a globally renowned Fender connoisseur. Accompanied by its case, tremolo, bridge cover, tremolo guidelines, lead, and strings, it also comes with a comprehensive history, a signed certificate, and a photo of Hank Marvin with the guitar.

An authentic relic of music history, this is an essential acquisition for vintage Fender enthusiasts and Hank Marvin admirers alike!
