Fender - American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster Round-Lam RW Shoreline Gold + Etui

The Fender American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster '65 stands out above all for its loyalty to historical models. The alder body, a true standard for vintage Stratocasters, produces a balanced tone rich in powerful mids. This model offers a sound balance that will appeal to musicians looking for depth and clarity, whether for lively rhythms or incisive solos. As for its nitrocellulose varnish, used on instruments from the 1960s, it not only guarantees a glossy finish, but above all lets the wood breathe, allowing the guitar to deliver all its richness of sound over time. The subtle and golden Shoreline Gold color gives it this vintage side that will appeal to both collectors and guitarists with a bold look.

As for the neck, the Fender American Vintage II Stratocaster '65 remains faithful to the "1965 C" profile, an essential classic for most musicians. It allows an easy and comfortable grip, ideal for long sessions without fatigue. With its 21 vintage-tall frets and 7.25" (184 mm) radius, it offers a playing experience that is completely faithful to that of the models of yesteryear. The generously sized pearloid fingerboard inlays also add a vintage aesthetic touch, and are easily visible under the shine of the glossy varnish. The Pure Vintage '65 pickups are no exception: these single coils, carefully crafted identically to the originals, deliver a pure, crystalline and timeless sound, perfect for fans of rock, blues or other genres who require a Stratocaster with a strong personality.

As for the hardware, it has not been forgotten: each component, from the bridge to the tuners, is identical to that of Fender instruments from the '60s. The vintage Fender Deluxe tuners, the stamped steel saddles and the three-ply Eggshell pickguard are all elements that give the Fender American Vintage II Stratocaster '65 impeccable authenticity. The Pure Vintage Synchronized tremolo allows for fluid vibrato nuances, and the 5-position selector opens the way to numerous sonic possibilities. This model is a true tribute to an era that marked the history of the guitar, with a modern design and playing comfort while scrupulously respecting the standards of the time. A must-have for musicians in search of authenticity.
