Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition '65 Roasted Stratocaster Deluxe Closet Classic Electric Guitar Aged Black

Experience vintage tone and modern playability with the Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 65 Roasted Stratocaster Deluxe Closet Classic. This premium electric guitar is crafted with a 2-piece select alder body and quartersawn roasted maple neck for balanced, resonant tone with rich sustain. Its narrow-tall frets, 9.5" fingerboard radius and slim '60s "C" neck profile provide a slick playing feel that's ideal for intricate solos and complex chords.

Vintage-Style Pickups Produce Iconic Strat Tone

Three Custom Shop hand-wound single-coil pickups deliver the unmistakable sound that made the Stratocaster a legend. The bridge pickup provides crisp treble and chime, the middle pickup adds warmth and depth and the neck pickup conveys sweet, rounded lows. Combine pickups in the guitar's 5-way switch for versatile tone shaping. A master volume, tone knobs for the neck/middle and bridge pickups allow fine-tuning your sound.

Road-Ready Reliability

From the vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge to the die-cast tuning machines, this guitar is built for a lifetime of music making. The tremolo bridge features bent steel saddles for authentic vintage tone and feel. Smooth tuners provide precise, stable tuning for consistent intonation and pitch. All hardware is finished in nickel for an aged appearance that matches the roasted wood aesthetic.

Vintage Looks, Modern Playability

While its aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish and parchment pickguard evoke a vintage vibe, the 65 Roasted Strat offers a thoroughly modern playing experience. Its slim neck profile and medium jumbo frets make chording and soloing remarkably comfortable and fluid. The 9.5" fingerboard radius adds to the slick feel, especially when performing deep bends. For musicians seeking a blend of vintage style and contemporary performance, this Stratocaster delivers the best of both worlds.
