Fender American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster Shoreline Gold

Here for sale we have a Fender American Vintage II 1965 Stratocaster Electric Guitar in Shoreline Gold finish. Made in the USA in 2025, this vintage-inspired, bolt-on neck guitar consists of an Alder body, a Maple body, and a 21-fret Round-Laminated Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a Pure Vintage Synchronized Tremolo Bridge with Bent Steel Saddles, a Bone nut, a Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish, and a trio of Pure Vintage '65 Gray-Bottom Single-Coil Strat pickups. These pickups are wired to a Master Volume, two Tone controls, and a 5-way pickup selector. The Maple neck plays very well, with the 1965 'C' Shape profile nicely filling the hand and providing effortless playability in all registers. Certainly, the profile is not as slim as many modern Fender necks, but still helps to facilitate fast and articulate lead lines. The Gloss finish to the rear of the neck is glass-like to the touch and really helps with smooth navigation of the 25.5" scale. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with a period-correct 7.25" radius and vintage-style frets ensures an authentically vintage playing experience across the neck. The smooth lines of the Stratocaster body are as comfortable in the arms as ever, ensuring comfort in both standing and seated positions. The trio of Pure Vintage '65 Gray-Bottom Single-Coil Strat single-coils installed in this guitar deliver authentic vintage-inspired tones thanks to their period accurate specification. Pole pieces are staggered for a balanced output, whilst Alnico V magnets are employed to produce a bright, glassy tone. Even the vintage-correct cloth wiring is used for a truly authentic tone. The neck is warm and round, with all of the power needed to push your solos to the front of the mix. The middle is punchy and clear for those funky tones, whilst the bridge produces a searing output for bright and focussed rock rhythm tones. This is a fantastically authentic vintage-inspired piece that will age very gracefully.
