Members should be aware that this guitar was commissioned by Music Ground themselves at the time of the Hank Marvin Signature guitars, but this is not an official Hank sig. nor was it approved by The Shadows. Although the marketing material states that it is an exact replica of 34346, Bruce has confirmed that this guitar was never loaned to Music Ground in order for them to make an exact copy.

Keen observers will examine the photo above and spot the obvious discrepancy... but at the time another was rumoured... know what it is?

Yes David I spotted it straight away (the bridge-nothing wrong with it as it's works well - but incorrect)
If it's a couple of grand then fine- Otherwise I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole - the man is a crook, be warned !

Yes, Hank's original came with gold fittings and a Bird's Eye maple neck (can't see from the photo if this one has that figured wood), but apart from the modern two point trem that Dave has pointed out, I see it has 22 frets..... :(
