  • Description: 65 Stratocaster® Trem model, transitional feature guitar with L serial number, white guard, small headstock, and trans logo. Alder body, top has faded to 2 tone, back still has plenty of red in the burst. Average playwear and checking, been pro refretted with original size wire, strong output, great sounding pickups, hardware and electronics all original. Plays and sounds really good, set up with 11's, former owner warned that the guitar has had these heavy strings for decades, in order to play blues, and that it just plain won't play with anything lighter. I suspect it may have minor backbow, and the heavy strings make it play best. I have seen it before. That said, it is a super cool looking Strat® with huge tone. and its fun to play brash, loud, and bluesy. OHSC
