{"product_id":"1965-fender-stratocaster-83","title":"1965 Fender Stratocaster","description":"Sunburst finished Alder body, white pickguard and plastic, B-profile neck with curved Brazilian rosewood board, transitional logo with 4 pat. numbers, and double-line Kluson tuners.  1965 doesn't get much better than this, folks.  A no-excuses guitar, this sunburst Strat is an unmodified and super-clean example of what Fender was up to in the middle of their first CBS year.  The L-series serial number on this guitar is the 112th last one, which by popular standards would make this instrument pre-CBS, even though the buyout actually happened some 8 months prior to its completion.  The guitar has a combination of transitional features, including small headstock, 4 patent number transitional logo, Brazilian board, white pickguard, and Bakelite CRL 1452 3-way switch.  And apart from a replaced backplate this guitar is 100% stock, original, and perfect.  We're talking solder joints, saddles, nut, strap-buttons, finish, frets, trem-arm... everything.  Only slight finish wear on the neck, and a very small assortment of minor dings on the body.  Excellent frets, setup and playability.  Pickup DC values of 5.7 (neck), 6.3 (middle), and 6.1 (bridge); and a respectable 8.2 pounds total weight.  Whether you're a player, collector, or both, this is one that certainly deserves your attention.  It's the finest vintage Strat we've ever offered, and cleaner than 99 % of those on the market today.\u003cbr\u003eWith original hard shell case, of course.","brand":"FENDER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610236674414,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/strat_fullf_0708.jpg?v=1790962721","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1965-fender-stratocaster-83","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
