Description:Fender "Prototype" American Vintage '65 Stratocaster®, Round-Lam Rosewood Fingerboard, Olympic White with Case - V203382 , PROTO65This is not just any ordinary guitar, this is a one of a kind. What happens before a guitar goes into production is the master builder team at Fender creates a "prototype". Hand built, the guitar is carefully constructed and given some extra care. Once the guitar is finished and ready to be passed over to the production team to replicate the guitar is put away. Now as you can see these guitars are very special and it's quite amazing when you get hold of one these. We've seen just a handful of these guitars and here's your opportunity to own one. The guitar being a prototype has some unique things about it. First there is a unique badge highlighted in the pictures stating it's a "prototype".The American Vintage series introduces an all-new lineup of original-era model year guitars that bring Fender® history and heritage to authentic and exciting new life. With key features and pivotal design elements spanning the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, new American Vintage series instruments delve deep into Fender's roots—expertly preserving an innovative U.S. guitar-making legacy and vividly demonstrating like never before that Fender not only knows where it's going, but also remembers where it came from.The American Vintage Series has long presented some of Fender's best selling guitars (their early-'80s introduction, in fact, was one of the first signs that Fender was "back" as the CBS era ended). Today, Fender has boldly cleared the slate to make way for a fresh American Vintage series with new features, new specs and the most meticulous level of vintage accuracy yet. Rather than just replacing the previous models with different ones, we've completely and comprehensively re-imagined the entire vintage-reissue concept—restoring original tooling dies, voicing new pickups, reformulating vintage colors and more—based on actual vintage guitars we tracked down to make sure we had it right. We did the work, and it shows, because there's pure tonal magic in each new American Vintage instrument.The 1965 Stratocaster® saw the return to a thick "C"-shaped maple neck, this time with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard and larger pearl dot inlays. That's what players will find on the American Vintage '65 Stratocaster, along with other authentic features including a three-ply white pick guard with 11 holes, lightweight alder body, aged plastic knobs and vintage-accurate pickups, bridge saddles, tuner spacing and moreSpecificationsModel Name: American Vintage '65 Stratocaster®, Round-Lam Rosewood Fingerboard, Olympic WhiteModel Number: 0111800805Series: American VintageMSRP: $2874.99Color: Olympic WhiteBody Material: AlderBody Finish: Fender Flash Coat LacquerBody Shape: Stratocaster®Neck Material: MapleNeck Finish: Fender Flash Coat LacquerNeck Shape: Mid '60s "C"Scale Length: 25.5" (648 mm)Fingerboard: Round-Laminated RosewoodFingerboard Radius: 7.25" (184.1 mm)Number of Frets: 21Fret Size: Vintage-StyleString Nut: BoneNut Width: 1.650" (42 mm)Position Inlays: DotTruss Rods: Vintage-Style Heel AdjustTruss Rod Nut: Vintage-Style SlottedBridge Pickup: American Vintage '65 Grey-Bottom Strat® Single-CoilMiddle Pickup: American Vintage '65 Grey Bottom Single-Coil Strat®Neck Pickup: American Vintage '65 Grey Bottom Single-Coil Strat®Controls: Master Volume, Tone 1.
