The 1963 Martin F-65 is a rare vintage electric guitar produced by Martin during their brief foray into the electric guitar market in the early 1960's. It's a double-cutaway, thinline hollow body model with a distinctive design and features. Production of the F-65 was limited with only 566 units made between 1962 and 1965, making it a desirable collector's item.
Key Features:
  • Hollow Body: The F-65 has a fully hollow, laminated maple body with "f" holes, giving it a warm, resonant tone.
  • Double Cutaway: The double cutaway design provides easy access to the higher frets.
  • DeArmond Pickups: Typically equipped with two DeArmond pickups known for their chime-like clarity and full low-end response.
  • Bigsby Vibrato: Many F-65s, particularly earlier models, feature a Bigsby-style vibrato tailpiece, adding expressive tremolo capabilities.
  • Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard: Features a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, a premium material prized for its tone and feel.
  • Original Hardware: Original examples often include the original acrylic bridge, Kluson tuners, and other period-correct hardware.
  • Sunburst Finish: Many F-65s have a sunburst finish, adding to their vintage aesthetic.
