General

It's hard to explain why a vintage guitar feels the way it does. Luckily, Fender prefers action over words. The American Vintage '65 Stratocaster offers the sound and construction of a Strat from half-way through the sixties in a brand-new product. This guitar caters to musicians who want the pure character but can't - or won't - pay tons of money for a genuine relic. This is the Burgundy Mist Metallic version that comes with all the bells and whistles, such as period-correct documentation and a luxury vintage case with orange plush interior as well as a leather guitar strap, an instrument cable and a polishing cloth that all have the same look and feel as the instrument from over half a century ago.

American Vintage '65 Strat Burgundy Mist Metallic: features

The body of this tasteful Strat is made of lightweight alder, which is still the standard for an American Stratocaster. Where Fender replaced the thick neck for a narrower profile around 1960, this '65 Strat again features a thick neck, this time with a more comfortable, rounder C profile. Its three single-coils are Grey Bottom models that were specially wound with enamel-coated wire, after the sound of the pickups from 1965. The controls and pickup covers have an aged-white finish, contributing to the overall vintage vibe. The 5-way pickup switch and the two tone controls are a familiar sight.

American Vintage series: more accurate than ever before

The American Vintage series has been around for a while. The current series comprises new, iconic '50s and '60s models that have a minute vintage accuracy. To get to this point, the guitar giant tracked down and studied specs and details of numerous original vintage guitars. Fender even brushed off the tools of the period to make the result as authentic as possible. Every model has been fitted with new pickups, especially wound after the specifications and sound of the vintage reference models. It's for good reason that these models represent Fender's illustrious, 60-year-long musical history.
