Our take on the Fender Limited Edition Roasted '65 Strat DLX Closet Classic

A Custom Shop Stratocaster built to 1965 specs with a roasted quartersawn maple neck and hand-wound '65 pickups. The Closet Classic lacquer finish and aged Burgundy Mist Metallic give it a broken-in look without relic wear. The 9.5-inch radius and narrow tall frets make it easier to bend and play than a true vintage 7.25-inch Strat, while the vintage-style tremolo and tuners keep the period feel. It suits players who want Custom Shop build and tone in a modern-playable vintage package rather than a stock American Vintage or Artist model.

Best forPlayers wanting Custom Shop tone with modern fretboard radiusStrat collectors who prefer light aging over heavy relicGigging guitarists who want a vintage-style tremoloBuyers comparing against American Vintage II '65 Strats
Pros
  • Hand-wound '65 single-coils with RWRP middle for hum-free positions 2 and 4
  • Roasted quartersawn maple neck is stable and resonant
  • 9.5-inch radius and 6105 narrow tall frets play easier than vintage spec
  • Two-piece select alder body sorted for lighter weight
  • Closet Classic lacquer finish ages naturally without fake wear
  • Ships with hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity
Cons
  • Limited edition, so replacement parts and future availability are uncertain
  • Vintage-style 6-saddle tremolo is less stable than a two-point system
  • Nitro lacquer finish checks and wears faster than poly
  • No modern features such as locking tuners or a compound radius

About the Fender Limited Edition Roasted '65 Strat DLX Closet Classic

This is a Limited Edition Roasted '65 Strat in the DLX Closet Classic finish, in Aged Burgundy Mist Metallic. It is a right-handed guitar. The body is two-piece select alder with a nitro lacquer finish.

The neck is quartersawn roasted maple with a 1965 Strat "C" back shape and a light-tint nitro lacquer finish. The round-laminated 3A rosewood fingerboard has binding, a 9.5" (241 mm) radius and 21 narrow tall (6105) frets. The nut is bone.

Three Custom Shop hand-wound '65 single-coil Strat pickups are controlled by a 5-way switch and Vintage Modified Strat #2 wiring. The middle pickup is reverse wound, reverse polarity (RWRP). A 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles handles pitch changes. The guitar comes with a Deluxe hardshell case, a strap and a Certificate of Authenticity.

Questions and answers

How does this differ from a standard American Vintage '65 Strat?
It is a Custom Shop build with hand-wound '65 pickups, a roasted quartersawn neck, a 9.5-inch radius and 6105 frets. The American Vintage II '65 uses a 7.25-inch radius, vintage frets and production-line pickups.
Is the roasted neck stable in different climates?
Roasting removes moisture from the maple, which makes the neck stiffer and less prone to movement with humidity changes. It also gives a darker, broken-in feel.
What pickups does it have?
Three Custom Shop hand-wound '65 single-coils, with the middle pickup reverse-wound reverse-polarity to cancel hum in positions 2 and 4. Wiring is Vintage Modified Strat #2 with a 5-way switch.
What is included in the box?
A deluxe hardshell case, a strap and a certificate of authenticity. The guitar is set up to factory spec action and neck relief before shipping.
Is the tremolo usable for gigging?
It is a 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles. It handles light vibrato well but is less stable under heavy use than a two-point tremolo.
What does Closet Classic finish mean?
It is a lightly aged nitro lacquer finish meant to look like a well-kept vintage guitar, with subtle checking and dulling rather than heavy relic wear.
Where is the Fender Limited Edition Roasted '65 Strat DLX Closet Classic cheapest?
At Fuller's Guitar, for $5,200.00, as of our latest check.
