Up for sale, a 2014 Fender American Vintage ‘65 Stratocaster in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. Offered for a few sparingly short years at the end of the original American Vintage run and now discontinued, the '65 American Vintage models were exquisitely well-made instruments, very faithful to their vintage forbears. This particular Strat features a "Flash Coat" nitro lacquer Sunburst finish, a rebranding of the Thin Skin concept in that the finish is simply pure, thin nitro without a poly sealer coat, ensuring optimal acoustic resonance.
This Strat can chime, sparkle, and quack with the best, delivering an array of classic Fender tones, loaded with Fender's Pure Vintage '65 gray bobbin single coils. The '65 pickups feature staggered alnico V poles and wax potting, offering a clear, smooth range of tonalities with an extremely articulate, shimmering response and a broad tonal palette. Whether it's the biting twang of the bridge position, the extra warmth and girth that comes from the neck single coil (ideal for lead work), or the thinned-out quack on the "in-between" positions on the five-way switch, this Strat is extremely lively and distinct in every pickup position. This American Vintage ‘65 Stratocaster weighs 7lbs 13oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
