Description

This 1965 Stratocaster in custom color Lake Placid Blue is a well-worn beauty with authentic wear that would leave the Custom Shop drooling. It was recently re-fretted and plays effortlessly. 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. Check out our specs tab for the full list of repairs and modifications.

Includes non-original hard shell case.
