Overview
The Fender Vintera III Early ’60s Stratocaster is a meticulously crafted vintage recreation that captures the authentic look, feel, and tone of Fender’s early 1960s era. Built with an alder body and maple neck paired with a slab rosewood fingerboard, it delivers a classic Fender voice with punch, clarity, and bright, chimey highs.
The early ’60s “C”-shaped neck and 7.25" radius fingerboard with vintage-tall frets provide a comfortable, period-correct playing experience. Equipped with three vintage-style early ’60s single-coil pickups, it produces articulate tones ideal for everything from clean rhythm to expressive lead work. A vintage-style synchronized tremolo system completes the classic feel, offering smooth pitch control and authentic aesthetics.
