Description

1965 Fender Stratocaster in the original custom color: Lake Placid Blue. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Look at the pictures of this instrument and imagine the stories? This guitar is the business. Tone for days. It plays great thanks a recent refret. A five way switch has been added and the wiring's changed to, "Eric Johnson" spec... the bottom tone pot is for the bridge pickup. The middle pickup goes direct, no tone control and the the neck pickup has its usual tone control. As far as changes go, the following items have been replaced: The switch tip, the volume knob, bridge saddles, the switch, and the pickup screws. The pickups are gray bobbin and dated 2 - 2 - 65. The guitar comes in a gig bag.
