– For your consideration is Hank Marvin’s personal 1966 Baldwin Burns Hank Marvin S (Special) prototype electric solidbody guitar.
– This incredibly rare historically important guitar, serial number 2592, is highly documented within Burns and Baldwin literature, as well as several books on the topic. This exact one being the Marvin S played by Hank Marvin during The Shadows ’67 Australian tour.
– Only 3 were produced: two green examples and one in white. The white was destroyed by the factory, the other green example was supposedly gifted to Bruce Welch, yet it has never resurfaced. So, of the 3 ever made, this may be the only one in existence.
