Here's a really cool Fender Stratocaster from 1965. Not only does it have all the mojo, but most of all, it sounds incredible. These grey bottom pickups from this era are some of the best ever made. The neck tapers up to a nice slight chunky profile. The original owner replaced the original knobs with tele knobs. He did a similar mod to his matching 65 Jaguar as well. That was his thing I guess. Love it!

*It has had an older re-fret and they have been played down to @.03" tall and .1" wide. There are some slight high spots here and there with very minimal buzzing and you can still reach normal bent notes with ease. All that said, a re-fret at some point in the future would be needed if it gets a lot of use, but currently it still sounds great could and frets could last a while with minimal playing.
