The Fender American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster embodies the sound and feel of a pivotal year in music history. By 1965, the Stratocaster had become a defining instrument across blues, rock, and surf music, with its unmistakable tone. This model captures the essence of the mid-'60s Strat with period-correct construction, hardware, and electronics, delivering an authentic vintage playing experience.

The alder body provides a resonant tonal foundation, offering warm mids and crisp highs. A maple neck with a 1965 "C" profile is finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, reflecting the craftsmanship of the era. The round-laminated rosewood fingerboard features a 7.25-inch radius and 21 vintage-tall frets, maintaining the classic feel of a mid-'60s Strat. Larger pearloid dot inlays, an 11-hole three-ply pickguard, and a transition-era logo complete the historically accurate look. The Pure Vintage single-line "Fender Deluxe" tuners provide smooth tuning adjustments, while the bone nut enhances resonance and sustain.

A trio of Pure Vintage ‘65 gray-bottom single-coil Stratocaster pickups delivers the signature chime and clarity that defined this era of Stratocasters. The five-way pickup selector switch allows access to a broad tonal range, while separate tone controls for the neck and middle pickups provide precise adjustments. The Pure Vintage synchronized tremolo bridge, equipped with bent steel saddles, ensures accurate intonation and expressive vibrato action.

Finished in Shoreline Gold nitrocellulose lacquer, the Fender American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster faithfully recreates a landmark year in Strat history. It includes a vintage-style black case.
