2026 Fender American Vintage II '65 Stratocaster Sonic Blue

The 2026 Fender American Vintage II ’65 Stratocaster captures the look, feel, and sound of a mid-’60s Strat with period-correct appointments throughout. Finished in Sonic Blue over an alder body with gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, it features a 1965 “C” maple neck, round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, vintage 7.25" radius, and 21 frets for an authentic playing experience. Three Pure Vintage ’65 Gray-Bottom single-coil pickups deliver classic Stratocaster clarity, chime, and dynamic response, while the Pure Vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuners, and bone nut complete the traditional setup.
