1965 Fender Stratocaster Candy Apple Red, Very Good, Original Hard

Offered for sale;

Used 1965 Fender Stratocaster serial number 107657.

This guitar is in very good condition.

Cosmetically there are “marks & nicks” about the body, an abundance of patina for a Strat of this age that has been played and enjoyed. The Guitar has had a professional re-fret with jumbo frets. There is some expected fretboard wear at the 1st four frets. Plenty of open position E C G & D chords.

We acquired this Stratocaster from the son of the original owner. We were the first to remove the pick guard. Virgin solder. No vibrato spring cover. We can supply a non-original cover. Non-original vibrato bar.
This is truly an iconic instrument, with all the feel and tone of a masterpiece of “Stratocasterism” and a custom finish.

Own something special.

Original Hard Case (much of the leather on one end has become de-stitched)

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
