COMMENTS
Closet Classic Finish: Built as if it was bought new in its respective model year, played maybe a few times per year and then carefully put away. It has a few small dings, a mildly checked finish, lightly oxidised hardware and aged plastic parts.
Fender has always introduced classic features to its core models. The 1965 Stratocaster was no exception, and this Limited Edition tops off the iconic ‘65 Strat with a bound fingerboard. Offered as a special order and only for a very limited time, these original Stratocasters bring high dollar on the vintage market. Our 2012 version also feature our rare “Abby Red Hot” pickups and our special moderns Strat wiring enabling the user access to the middle pickup tone circuit with the bridge pickup. This allows the player to cut the higher end off the rear pickup.
