The Fender Vintera III Mid '60s Mustang captures the unmistakable charm of Fender’s offset era, delivering the look, feel, and tone that made the Mustang a favorite among players searching for something a little different. Compact, punchy, and full of personality, this Vintera III model recreates the mid-’60s formula with impressive authenticity while offering the reliability modern players expect.

Built with an alder body and a maple neck topped with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, this Mustang delivers the articulate snap and warmth that defined Fender instruments during the decade. The mid-’60s “C”-shaped neck profile feels instantly comfortable in the hands, while the vintage-correct 7.25" radius and vintage-tall frets provide smooth playability whether you’re laying down chords or digging into expressive lead lines. Its short 24" scale length contributes to the Mustang’s famously slinky feel and quick response.

A pair of vintage-style mid-’60s Mustang single-coil pickups produce the sweet, woody sparkle that helped make this model a cult classic. Combined with the vintage-style floating tremolo system and traditional Mustang switching, the guitar offers a unique tonal palette and expressive vibrato that perfectly captures the spirit of the era.

Specs: Alder body; maple neck with Mid ’60s “C” profile; round-laminated rosewood fingerboard with 7.25" radius, clay dot inlays, and 22 vintage-tall frets; bone nut with 1.650" width; 24" scale length; vintage-style tuning machines with vintage white buttons and butterfly string tree; 6-saddle vintage-style Mustang tremolo bridge; 4-ply aged white pearloid pickguard with black pickup covers and black plastic control knobs; nickel/chrome hardware. Gloss polyester Dakota Red finish. Includes Deluxe gigbag.

Electronics: Two Vintage-Style Mid ’60s Single-Coil Mustang pickups; master volume and master tone controls; two on/off slide switches (one for each pickup).
