Step back to one of the most pivotal years in rock history with the Fender American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster. By 1965, the Stratocaster was well on its way to cementing its status as one of rock’s greatest electric guitars. True to its era, this stunning re-creation features a 1965 “C”-shaped maple neck, now coupled with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard boasting larger pearl dot inlays-a detail that perfectly captures the transitional character of mid-’60s Fenders. Add in an 11-hole, three-ply eggshell pickguard and that iconic transition logo with bolder lettering, and you have an instrument that exudes the undeniable vibe of the ’60s.Equipped with Pure Vintage ’65 gray-bottom single-coil pickups, the American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster delivers the classic Strat quack and sparkle prized by enthusiasts and pros alike. The 6-saddle American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo keeps everything vintage-accurate, from subtle surf warbles to full-tilt bends. A gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish highlights the alder body’s timeless curves, while Pure Vintage Single Line “Fender Deluxe” tuners and vintage-tall frets ensure an era-authentic feel. Every last screw and component pays homage to Fender’s pioneering craftsmanship-making this a must-have guitar for any player seeking legendary mid-’60s Strat tone and aesthetics.Specifications:Series: American Vintage IIBody Material: AlderBody Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose LacquerNeck: Maple, 1965 “C” ProfileNeck Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose LacquerFingerboard: Round-Laminated Rosewood, 7.25″ (184.1 mm) RadiusFrets: 21, Vintage TallPosition Inlays: White Pearloid Dot (7 mm)Nut (Material/Width): Bone, 1.650″ (42 mm)Tuning Machines: Pure Vintage Single Line “Fender Deluxe”Scale Length: 25.5” (64.77 cm)Bridge: 6-Saddle American Vintage Synchronized TremoloPickguard: 3-Ply Eggshell/Black/Eggshell (11-Hole)Pickups: Pure Vintage ’65 Gray-Bottom Single-Coil StratPickup Switching: 5-Position BladeControls: Master Volume, Tone 1 (Neck), Tone 2 (Bridge/Middle)Control Knobs: Vintage WhiteHardware Finish: Chrome/Nickel-Plated SteelCase/Gig Bag: Updated Deluxe Vintage BlackSKU: 0110280809
