Fender - American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster Round-Lam RW Candy Apple Red + Etui

The Fender American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster '65 is a vibrant tribute to one of the most defining periods in music. This electric guitar is not just an instrument, it is a time capsule that allows you to relive the atmosphere of 1965, when the Stratocaster conquered the rock scene. The bright and deep Candy Apple Red color makes it a true work of art both visually and sonically. Its alder body offers a perfectly balanced tone, with well-defined mids and robust lows, which gives each note an unmatched warmth and depth.

The Stratocaster's maple neck is a model of its kind: a "1965 C" profile that allows for a perfect grip and exceptional playing comfort. The high-gloss nitrocellulose finish, of impeccable quality, highlights the beauty of the wood while providing a clear and precise resonance. The 7.25" (184 mm) radius and vintage-tall frets make bending easy, giving the user total and fluid control over their playing, without the fear of the strings fricking.

As for the pickups, the Fender American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster '65 incorporates them in an SSS configuration (three single-coil pickups), which allows it to reproduce the tones so characteristic of the era, with a clarity and brilliance worthy of the best productions of Fender's golden age. These Pure Vintage 1965 "Gray Bottom" pickups are manufactured with the same precision as those of the 60s, using materials such as composite fiber bobbins and AlNiCo magnets for unparalleled sonic authenticity. The presence of the three-ply Eggshell pickguard and Vintage White knobs further accentuate the retro side of this instrument.

The details of the hardware, such as the Pure Vintage synchronized tremolo bridge and the Deluxe tuners, aren’t just for looks. They’re designed to deliver stability and flawless performance, even during the most intense sessions. Fender has successfully combined old-world aesthetics with modern functionality, and every element of the guitar, from the string guide to the stamped steel saddles, has been crafted to recall the models of the ’60s.
In short, with this ’65 Stratocaster, you’re making history with an instrument that doesn’t just play music… it tells the story of an era.
