I have seen this strat on the well known auction site which suggests that a number of new guitars via Custom Shop are in the making for the 50th. Is this add sort of bending the truth? I can't see any signature on the head stock not helped that part of the photo is missing. cgi.the well known auction site.co.uk/NEW-Fender-Custom-Shop-Strat-in-Hank-Marvin-Fiesta-Red_W0QQitemZ330308652844QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item330308652844&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 |

Guitar Mania have the same guitars on their website at 2199, if you click on the picture on the same site, they're 2299. Now they're on the well known auction site at 2399?  ? Is this the credit crunch in reverse? Cheers Barry |

I have heard that the strategy of several businesses is to put prices up during such times!

I don't see any evidence of Fender having anything to do with "a 50th". It's just GM marketing... Think I'll wait for the "Apache" guitar due out next year  |

The guitar is not advertised as a Hank Marvin guitar, it's advertised as a Fender Custom Shop 56 NOS with some upgrades so that it looks similar in both colour and style to Hank's. There will be a number of companies cashing in on the 50th anniversary and as long as they don't try to deceive, there appears to be nothing wrong with their marketing strategy.

Hi There ;D I read all their publicity. I think that it must be a super publicity guy writing for them. The instrument seem to be an extraordinary instrument out of this world! And also you should check out the 'legalese' terms. They make sure that you won't return anything to them. For that price..I think one can get two guitars for the same price and with noiseless Kinman pickups!  |
