Fender American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster - SHG

The Stratocaster model, which achieved great success in the second half of the 1950s, underwent a significant revolution in the early 1960s, featuring the addition of a rosewood fingerboard, a thinner neck profile, and a set of pickups with a brighter tone.

The Fender American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster reintroduces the original instrument produced in the mid-1960s and is characterized by an alder body, a maple neck with a fast 1965 "C" profile, a rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25" radius, a Vintage Synchronized Tremolo bridge with an inertia block and steel saddles, and a set of Pure Vintage '65 Gray-Bottom Single-Coil Strat® pickups.

This instrument, when first picked up, conveys an authentic feeling and, when plugged in, delights with its vintage tone.

The American Vintage II Series showcases a selection of the most iconic instruments in Fender's history, reproduced with exceptional accuracy in terms of technical, aesthetic, and sonic qualities. Compared to the American Original Series, this new and updated series offers instruments that are even more historically accurate, representing the closest approach to Fender Custom Shop production ever presented in the Fender USA catalog.
