Hi Guys and Fender Experts !

I'm looking for the original specs of 1965 and 1967 Stratocaster.
like what was the fret size, neck radius and wood, guitar body wood - was it Ash or alder, pickups ? did Fender changed the pickups during 65 to 67 ? , tuners ?

any info would be appreciated and if there's anything else I didn't mention and it's good to know of I'll be delighted .

thanks

Sorry about that

thank you but there's nothing about fret size, neck radius, tuners or logo decal.

well there wasn't much variation as far as specs go back then. There was only one model of strat. You had an option of hardtail or tremolo, color, and there was a maple cap fretboard option.

The frets were the standard size ( today this is called vintage sized fret wire), the neck radius was 7.25" from 1954-80, the tuners were Kluson, and the decal was the "transition" logo



The pickups were grey bottom strat pickups
The bodies were made of Alder
