1965 was quite the transitional year for Fender and its flagship Stratocaster model electric guitar. The sale of the Fender company to CBS had long lasting effects on the guitars it produced. Yet the Stratocaster's overall form and function stayed the same for the next year.The best way to find out how much did a Fender Stratocaster cost in 1965 is by checking the price list from that year. Remember that the Stratocaster was offered in a few different versions with different prices for each. A Fender Stratocaster cost between $252.50 and $339.00 in 1965. It's easier to see now why Fender guitars with custom color finish or gold hardware are more valuable than the standard Sunburst finish. Most guitar players found that the Sunburst finish with Tremolo tailpiece was just perfect for them and didn't feel the need to pay extra for anything else. Custom colors like Olympic White and Candy Apple Red Metallic are far more rare than the standard Sunburst finish, so prices for them are usually much higher.
