Fender / Stratocaster / 1965 / Sunburst (2 Tone Fade) / Guitar
|
SOLD
Very soulful December of 1965 Strat with the large headstock. Pots look like they date to 1965 as well so as much as it appears like a 1966 i believe it's manufacture was pretty much 1965. Pot codes 1376548 and a VERY low 107XXX F plate. Nice arm wear for Mojo's sake but only to the the yellow not thru to the wood. Has a nice moderate C shaped neck. Not as fat as the 1963 era though. Extremely fast neck to play!! Orig pick ups, pots, bridge .... frets APPEAR to be original but have been redone and whoever did,ir .... did a flawless job. The most accurate Fender refret i have seen in a long time. They're so factory looking. But when a body gets plenty of play usually so do the frets. The fingerboard is plenty colorful and 1965 was the last year for Brazilian but this could be Indian as well. It has a 5 way switch but the orig 3 way + ash tray are in the case!
Weighs in at 7 lbs 10 oz;s and is a beast!! Pick ups measure a strong Bass 6.13K, Middle 6.11K and treble 5.8k. The 3 tone in back and under the guard with the 2 tone front is ultra hip to me. It also comes with the original no logo case in pretty decent shape.
