Description
Relive the sound & spirit of 1965 with the American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster. Smack in the middle of one of music's most electrifying decades, the Stratocaster in 1965 was an instrument on its way to becoming rock's greatest electric guitar. A perfect example of a Strat in a transition year, it features a 1965 "C"-shaped maple neck, this time with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard & larger pearl dot inlays. Other authentic features include an 11-hole three-ply white pickguard, the incredibly cool transition logo with larger lettering & a set of amazing "gray bottom" Pure Vintage 1965 pickups. Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action.
Cosmetic Condition: Marvelous condition & still like new with some mild surface scratches. There is a pretty sizeable finish blemish on the bottom of the body near the strap button. It appears to be some type of discoloration in the finish perhaps from a guitar strap.
