Been mulling this over for weeks now but I have finally bit the bullet (a couple of ales always helps!).

These are pretty hard to come by. You see plenty of 1960 CS strats and various 50s Strats but the 65s don't come up often. This model was retired in 2010 - http://www.fendercustomshop.com/retired-models/

9.5 radius
6105 frets

CS case with candy

Priced to sell £1850 £1750 £1700 pick up only. Want buyer to test drive and be 100% satisfied

    Cheers @Trotter all my GAS is tied up in this beauty. I have always been a Strat guy but I can't put my Tele down right now. I'll definitely be back in for another fender but this time one with a 10/56 neck me thinks..

    I've got a '66 Custom Shop Strat with three '65 pickups and they're a great set - the in-between sounds in particular are fantastic. The transition logo's super cool as well.

    As per title could be interested in trades if no offers come in. Doesn't have to be a straight swap, but cash would need to be one way as I have none - hence the sale.

    Would be interested Telecasters or maybe another Strat, but preference for a Tele. Something with a vintage vibe - maybe Gibson hollow/semi hollow?

    Needs to have some meat on the neck. My ideal neck is something akin to the soft V on a Baja. But a rounded 60's profile could do it - no skinny necks. Ideally 9.5 radius with medium frets.

    Another CS or a 70's fender poss.  Or just shoot me with something interesting - nothing pointy / metal style...
