1965 Fender Stratocaster – Lake Placid Blue
The finish on this original 1965 Fender Stratocaster in Lake Placid Blue has aged to a beautiful Ocean Turquoise Metallic hue! This example just so happens to have a maple cap neck with a small headstock, a highly desirable combo that only appeared in 1965. The finish on both the body and neck has taken on a rich patina, with the neck taking on a beautiful golden shade that brings out some subtle figuring. Playability is just fantastic on this piece, with three well-balanced gray bobbin pickups that sound crisp and full in each switch position. The overall resonance is just unbelievable, and the neck is extremely comfortable in the hand. With these specs and how cool this example has aged, it’s certainly a keeper!
