A good example of a 1965 Stratocaster having transitional features from both 1964 and 1965. The serial number dates the guitar to 1965 along with the potentiometers and pickups, whilst the October '64 dated neck with plain dots and the green guard are more commonly seen and phased out towards the end of 1964
