  • Description: This one’s as clean as they come. It’s a 1965 Sunburst Stratocaster® and we purchased it from a nice lady who bought it new. The girls are always so much easier on their guitars than the boys and this one is no exception. The serial # is L696XX. It almost seems needless to mention, but this beauty is all original. The tuners, truss rod and frets were all born with this guitar and they all function as intended. There’s plenty of play wear left on the frets. The heel of the neck is stamped Feb 65 B. The electronics have never been molested in any way. The three grey bobbin pickups are all dated 9/31/65 and measured at the output jack, they read 6.13 k ohms for the bridge pickup, 5.57 k ohms for the middle pickup, and 5.76 k ohms for the neck pickup. The potentiometer codes read 5th week of 1965. Naturally, this 1965 Stratocaster® comes with its original case (with 2 little birds applied on it), Fender® hangtag, polishing cloth, and case key with envelope. As always, it will be professionally packed with care. You will always hear people say, “Buy the cleanest, best playing guitar you can afford.” This is definitely one of those.
