Fender Custom Shop 1965 “Lipstick” Stratocaster NOS Olympic White 2004

Built in the Time Machine Series, this run recreates mid-’60s features with a factory lipstick-pickup set and period-correct appointments. It was offered as a European “Euro Special,” combining a select alder body, maple ’65 “C” neck, and round-laminated rosewood fingerboard with a vintage 7.25″ radius and vintage-size frets.

The guitar pairs Strat ergonomics with supercool lipstick single-coils for a bright, glassy voice with a different mid profile than standard Strat pickups, and an unmistakable look.

This example is effectively New Old Stock in itself, it looks like it’s never been played. Includes the original case, COA and all case candy. Weight is 3500g.
