Up for sale is a truly exceptional Fender American Vintage '65 Stratocaster from the highly coveted first production run. This is a resonant gem that vibrates like crazy even unplugged—a true sign of a great guitar!
As part of the earliest batches of this celebrated series, it belongs to the most sought-after production years. Collectors and players actively hunt for these specific early specs due to Fender's meticulous wood selection and extreme attention to detail during this launch period.
Key Highlights & Features:
- First-Run Perfection: Impeccable build quality with an absolute tight fit at the neck pocket junction. Very balanced and lightweight!
- Flash Coat Lacquer: Features the iconic, ultra-thin Fender Flash Coat finish that lets the wood breathe and age naturally.
- Pure '65 Tone: Loaded with original Gray-Bottom American Vintage '65 pickups for a massive, detailed, and dynamic sound.
- Neck Profile: Generous Mid-'60s "C" shape that feels solid and extremely comfortable in hand.
- Condition & Setup: Frets are in excellent condition, and the overall setup is dialed in and ready to play right out of the case.
Cosmetic Condition:
- Please note that in the final picture, you can see a small ding on the top right.
- The original ultra-thin lacquer shows some light, authentic finish crackling/checking, which is completely normal for Flash Coat finishes and very hard to capture in photos.
Ships securely packed with great care. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
