Seller's description

Easily the cleanest '65 Strat in Candy Apple Red we have had, this guitar has many more stories to tell. While it may have been the most popular custom color, these Fender factory custom color guitars are getting harder and harder to come by, especially in this condition. This example has that iconic Strat sound, with desirable pre-CBS era specs including a '64 neck. The smaller headstock, double line Kluson and L-series neck plate make this one perfect for anyone looking for a custom color Strat with that right vintage spec to it. Remarkably, this guitar is 100% original, and besides a missing bridge cover is all there. Pot codes dated 5th week of '65 and pot codes dated 3/31/65 and the neck dated Oct. '64. The neck measures .800"/1st and .955"/9th. Serial #L69646, comes with the original case. Weighs 7.8lbs. Please refer to the provided photos for more detail on the condition of this instrument. As with all of our vintage listings, included is a vintage spec sheet which details any repairs & changes of note.
