A True Slice of Early ’60s Fender History

Representing equal parts Bakersfield and Nashville, the Fender Limited Vintera III Early ’60s Custom Telecaster faithfully captures the style, playability, and tone of the era with supreme assurance. Showcasing a double-bound alder body, this upscale, gilded-to-the-gills Tele outshines the model’s reputation as a tried-and-tested workhorse. You’ll rejoice in the period-correct playability of the Limited Early ’60s Custom Tele’s authentic Early ’60s C-shaped neck, and its old-school 7.25-inch-radius, round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, crowned with vintage-tall frets, is just as gratifying. Plug in, and this solidbody electric guitar rivals real-world vintage models by virtue of its vintage-style, 1963-spec’d single-coil Tele pickups, which are brimming with the tone-packed punch and crystal-clear articulation you’d expect from a ’63 Telecaster. You also get a premium assortment of period-accurate hardware, comprising Fender’s twang-marinated 3-saddle bridge and matching vintage-style tuning machines. A 3-ply mint green pickguard, a top-hat-style switch tip, knurled flat-top control knobs, and an era-correct Custom Telecaster headstock logo round out this superb retro-style Tele. The Limited Vintera III Early ’60s Custom Telecaster masterfully blends authentic vintage vibe with legendary tone, offering a genuine slice of Fender heritage.

Vintera III: own a piece of Fullerton history

The Vintera III lineup takes you back to Fender’s formative age of guitar innovation, reviving the brand’s most beloved instruments with component-level vintage accuracy. These historic guitars and basses spotlight pivotal eras of Fender production, from the gold-tinged Strats of the late 1950s to the block-bound Jazz Basses of the early 1970s. Each model is crafted with era-accurate pickups, a vintage-spec neck, and traditional Fender hardware — in essence, these are Leo Fender and company’s groundbreaking creations realized exactly as they were first envisioned decades ago. Rest assured that when you pick up a Vintera III instrument, you’re playing the guitars and basses that shaped music history.

Early-’60s playing comfort, refined to perfection

During the early 1960s, Fender remained true to the classic Tele formula: a heavyweight ash or alder body joined to a hand-filling maple neck and bolstered by what’s arguably the era’s most bulletproof hardware, elevated by optional rosewood fingerboards and the introduction of the Custom Telecaster model. The Fender Limited Vintera III Early ’60s Custom Telecaster reflects these design elements, showcasing a double-bound body carved from a premium chunk of solid alder. Moreover, this Tele boasts an eminently comfortable Early ’60s C-shaped neck, which starts off slim at the nut and thickens moderately as you approach the 12th fret. You also get a vintage-style 7.25-inch-radius, round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, crowned with vintage-tall frets that allow for enthusiastic string bending without fretting out. Lastly, the Limited Vintera III Early ’60s Custom Tele features a vintage-style 3-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles — a significant contributor to the fabled Tele twang — and matching tuning machines, offering authentic aesthetics and superior tuning precision.

Vintage twang starts here

Guitar aficionados consider early-’60s Teles to be among the most sought-after models in Fender history, thanks at least in part to their captivating alnico-fueled sound. Equipped with vintage-style 1963-spec’d single-coil Tele pickups, the Limited Vintera III Early ’60s Custom Telecaster re-creates these iconic tones with flawless precision. No matter what you plug it into, this stellar solidbody electric guitar sings, snaps, squeals, and sparkles, delivering crystal-clear chime and a raw, steely twang that screams. Tying it all together are Master Volume and Master Tone knobs, along with traditional 3-way switching, providing you with a universe of potential tones to explore.
