The Story

1965 Stratocaster Relic Lake Placid Blue with Gold Hardware

Packed full of mid '60s vibes that include mother of pearl dot inlays and a relic'd Lake Placid Blue finish - this is a Custom Shop '65 Stratocaster which was inspired by a great looking guitar in the excellent Galaxy of Stratocasters book by Yasuhiko Iwanade. The guitar has tasteful relic'ing done to it, and an oval "C" shape that's comfortable for rhythm playing! A great looking and playing Custom Shop instrument.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Case Candy and Paperwork
