The Fender American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster is a stunning recreation of one of Fender’s most iconic mid-’60s designs, delivering the timeless look, feel, and tone that defined an era of electric guitar innovation. Built in the USA with uncompromising attention to vintage detail, this model captures the essence of a true ’65 Strat.

 

This example is only weeks old and would be mint-condition were it not for a barely visible tiny blemish at the neck pocket (pictured). 

 

One of the most distinctive features of this model is the 1965 "C"-shaped maple neck. This neck profile offers a comfortable and familiar feel for many players, providing a balance between a slim profile for fast playing and a substantial feel for comfortable chording. The round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, a departure from the earlier slab boards, adds warmth and smoothness to the guitar's tone. The larger pearl dot inlays are a period-correct detail that further enhances the vintage aesthetic.

 

The heart of the 1965 Stratocaster's sound lies in its "grey bottom" Pure Vintage '65 single-coil Strat pickups. These pickups are meticulously wound to replicate the specific tonal characteristics of the original 1965 pickups. They deliver a clear, articulate tone with a balanced frequency response, perfect for a wide range of musical styles. From shimmering cleans to biting blues tones, these pickups capture the essence of the mid-60s Stratocaster sound.

 

The guitar also features an 11-hole three-ply white pickguard, another detail that distinguishes this era of Stratocasters. The transition logo with larger lettering on the headstock is a visually striking detail that adds to the guitar's vintage appeal. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only provides a beautiful sheen but also allows the alder body to breathe and resonate, contributing to the instrument's overall tone. The Pure Vintage synchronised tremolo with bent steel saddles ensures accurate tuning stability and authentic vintage tremolo action.

 

The Fender American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster in Sonic Blue is a time machine. It offers players a chance to experience the sound, feel, and look of a classic instrument from a pivotal era in music history. This model is built for players who appreciate the nuances of vintage Fender instruments and demand the highest level of quality and authenticity. It comes complete with its original case and paperwork.
