1965 Fender Stratocaster Dakota Red

This Fender Stratocaster was made in the USA at the end of 1965. It has all '66 specs like the bigger headstock but all parts date to 1965. The guitar shows play wear but there is no structural damage. It has a factory original Dakota Red finish. Its possible this was an early factory refin or a custom order. The guitar does not have the usual stamped codes that generally indicate a factory refin, but it does have "D Red" scratched into the body below the pickup cavities. All parts are original although it did have other tuners on it at some point - the shaft holes were not enlarged but there are some extra screw holes on the back of the headstock that are hidden underneath the kluson tuners. It weighs 7 pounds 12 ounces. This guitar has been pro-setup in our store and is in excellent playing condition. It comes with the original case.
