FENDER SAYS
The Time Machine series ’65 Stratocaster guitar is an exact reproduction of the original, using the same techniques, tooling and “transition” logo. Even the ’65 custom pickups have been duplicated to the exact specs of the original. Its alder body and distinctive “C” neck shape, “round-lam” rosewood fingerboard construction and nitrocellulose-finished neck replicate one of Fender’s finest instruments.
