Fender American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster - Candy Apple Red
The Fender American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.
Relive the sound and spirit of 1965 with the American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster. Smack in the middle of one of music's most electrifying decades, the Stratocaster in 1965 was an instrument on its way to becoming rock's greatest electric guitar. A perfect example of a Strat in a transition year, the 1965 Stratocaster features a 1965 "C"-shaped maple neck, this time with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard and larger pearl dot inlays.
Other authentic features include an 11-hole three-ply white pickguard, the incredibly cool transition logo with larger lettering, and a set of amazing "grey bottom" Pure Vintage 1965 pickups.
