Description

This 1965 Fender Stratocaster offers classic mid-’60s vibe with plenty of worn-in vintage charm. The original pickups deliver a lively, mid-scooped tone with impressive clarity and output. It remains largely original, with a few notable changes: a previously humbucker route has been professionally repaired beneath the pickguard, the neck pickup has been repotted, and the pickup covers have been replaced. A fantastic example of a ’65 Strat, it’s a great addition to any collection and comes with its original hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
