Looks like Brazilian Rosewood, Gibson was still using them on that model at the time.

I thought they stopped in 1969?
Edit: Damn you are right. For some reason 1969 always stuck in my head.

Yep, 1965 is the last of the really magic years both for Fender and Gibson.

For example; when Gibson relaunched the Les Paul model (as we know it) in 1968, it didn't have a Brazilian rosewood fretboard.

That guitar supposedly started out as a 1965 SG Special
