Description

This 1965 Fender Stratocaster. This guitar features a great feeling medium sized neck with a beautiful Brazilian fretboard. It's a great player, owing to a recent refret and new nut. The sound is classic mid '60s Stratocaster for days thanks to the three gray bobbin pickups. This guitar has had the switch replaced with a 5-way. The bridge pickup has been rewound to a little hotter than stock spec... this is a good thing. The front of the guitar must've been facing the sun for a quite a while as the red part of the sunburst is completely faded out. The red is, of course, still present under the pickguard. There's a few areas of touch-up paint and some clear overspray around the edge of the guitar. The guitar comes in a slightly later '60s black Tolex Fender hardcase with a logo. The trem cover plate and the trem arm are in the case.
