1965 Fender® Stratocaster® Black, Excellent, Original Hard, $6,995.00

You want a real, gen-you-wine 1965 Fender Strat with all the tone, all the feel, and twice the sex, at half the price? Here’s your big chance. The real deal, with the real pickups, and a black, refinished body that has an incredibly hot look you couldn’t duplicate for all the money in the world. Directly to us from the family of a hard-working professional musician who passed away some years ago, and whose family is now ready to pass the guitar on. Neck finish original with wear on the back of it in all the right places to feel sublime; body refinished black decades ago, probably in someone’s garage and looks pretty darn good for all that, so sexy we can hardly stand it. Pickups original, appear to have had their dates of 5-21-65 inked over but look very right to me; neck date 2 OCT 64B, serial number on neck plate squarely into 1965; pots replaced and who cares, saddles probably not nearly corroded enough to be that old and ditto, one more recent tone knob ditto again; 5-way switch a blessing. Older perfect very professional refret; guitar just set up by us, tone like all day long and half the night. Both as hot and as cool as it gets at literally half of what a “collectable” one, whatever that means, costs; you wanna wear this thing or you wanna play it? Go to town and never come back with this fab, fab, real deal 1960s Fender Strat with frayed original hard shell case. $6995 w/ohsc
