The Fender® American Vintage II series presents a meticulously crafted reimagining of the groundbreaking designs that changed the course of music history. Crafted with historically correct bodies, necks and tuning machines, premium finishes, and a focus on tone, including vintage-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.
Relive the sound and spirit of 1965 with the 1965 American Vintage II Stratocaster. Right in the midst of one of music's most electrifying decades, the 1965 Stratocaster was on its way to becoming one of rock's most important electric guitars. A perfect example of a Strat in a transitional year, the 1965 Stratocaster® features a maple neck with a 1965 "C" profile, this time with a round-lam rosewood fingerboard and larger dot inlays. Other vintage features include a three-ply white pickguard with 11 holes, the incredibly cool transition logo with larger lettering, and a set of stunning Pure Vintage 1965 gray-bottom pickups.
