The Fender Vintera III series brings classic Fender history back to life with thoughtfully built instruments inspired by the legendary designs of the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s. These guitars capture the look, feel, and tone that defined generations of players, while offering the consistency and reliability modern musicians expect.

The Vintera III Early ‘60s Stratocaster pairs a resonant alder body with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard for that unmistakable Fender voice-clear, punchy, and full of character. The early ‘60s “C”-shaped neck sits comfortably in your hand, while the 7.25" radius and vintage-tall frets provide a smooth, classic playing feel. A trio of vintage-style early ‘60s single-coil pickups delivers the signature sparkle and chime that made the Strat a staple across countless recordings. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo adds expressive control, and period-correct tuning machines complete the package with dependable tuning and authentic style.

The Vintera III Early ‘60s Stratocaster is all about capturing the essence of a golden era-built for players who want timeless tone and feel in a modern, road-ready instrument.
