FENDER SAYS
The 1965 Stratocaster saw the return to a thick C-shaped maple neck, this time with a round-laminated dark rosewood fingerboard and larger pearl dot inlays. It was also the first year for enamel-covered pickup wire. That’s what players will find on the American Vintage ’65 Stratocaster, along with other authentic features including a three-ply white pickguard with 11 holes, lightweight alder body, aged plastic knobs and vintage-accurate pickups, bridge saddles, tuner spacing and more.

La Dakota Red del 2013 di Paolo bassi, che ringrazio. E' interessante notare la paletta con il Transition logo, i quattro patent number, l'"Original Contour Body Pat. Pend.". Le sellette hanno l'incisione "Fender" e "Pat.Pend.".
