Yes in the real 1965 day, Fender did make a smal # of bound Strat Necks. This is a Fender Japan One. These Are Just Great. NUFF Said. You also will never see this again. Collectors got the few Japan made. Nitro Finish, 1965 Specs, Fat Chunky C Shape Neck.
Not 1960, Not 1956, Get Different, Built Different!
