1965 Fender Stratocaster Celebrity ARTIST Owned Sunburst Original Vintage USA American Strat OHSC

Incredible 1965 Fender Stratocaster owned and used by Bullet For My Valentine frontman Matt Tuck. With over half a BILLION views on YouTube and millions of records sold: Matt is heavy metal, rock & roll royalty! This guitar was used to record on their last two records Venom and Gravity. The guitar now resides at Essex Recording Studios as its prized possession. We don't really want to sell it, but a serious collector will get this amazing guitar if they're willing to pay...you get what you pay for here, that is for sure. This is the finest example with the best provenance in the world in our opinion. Own a piece of Fender and rock/metal history that has actually been used to record! Matt was giving a guitar clinic in Chicago years ago when someone came into the store to sell this guitar...he bought it one the spot and used it to record two Bullet For My Valentine records! A full video of him with the guitar explaining its history is linked to this listing...what better provenance could possibly exist?! It simply does not get better than this. This is a famous year for Fender with the one piece maple neck - no skunk stripe - and last year of the L serial number before the big F CBS neck plate. Brazilian Rosewood fretboard, and highly sought after headstock and logo. It is hard to believe this guitar is 54 years old!!! Keep this guitar in this condition for another 10 years and you will be making a serious return on your investment...they just don't come this clean with this kind of provenance! Matt stated the guitar is 100% original with original pickups, pots and hardware. The gold on the tone knobs has oxidized to green as is common further authenticating age and patina. The neck is dated September 1965. Multiple authorities have confirmed the guitar is original. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a 54 year old investment Fender with massive artist & recording provenance. Congratulations to the new owner!
