Fender was fully owned by CBS in 65, 64 was their transition year, company was sold January 5th 1965 but the transition logo was used in 1964 because plans for the sale had already begun. So unless an amp was built and finished in less than 4 days there are 0 pre-CBS 1965 fender amps.
1965 blackface pre CBS. Best tone on planet EARTH!
