The Fender Vintera III series delivers meticulously crafted vintage recreations that capture the authentic look, feel, and tone of iconic Fender guitars from the '50s, '60s, and '70s.

The Vintera III Mid '60s Telecaster features your choice of alder or ash body paired with a maple neck and maple or rosewood fingerboard, delivering that unmistakable Fender sound brimming with punch and crystal-clear articulation. Choose between a classic maple cap fingerboard or rich rosewood fingerboard to match your playing style and aesthetic preference. The authentic mid '60s “C”-shaped neck profile offers an instantly familiar playing experience, while the 7.25" radius fingerboard with vintage-tall frets ensures supreme comfort and outstanding feel. At its heart, two meticulously crafted vintage-style mid '60s spec'd pickups capture the bright, cutting tones that established Fender's reputation during this pivotal era. The vintage-style 3-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles offers authentic '60s twang, while period-correct vintage-style tuning machines deliver authentic looks with superior tuning precision.

Embrace the authentic vintage spirit and legendary sound of Vintera III – where every detail tells the story.

Alder Or Ash Body

Classic Fender tonewoods known for exceptional resonance and clarity, alder delivers balanced tone with beefy mids and robust low-end, while ash provides enhanced punch and brightness with prominent grain patterns, offering versatile tonal options for diverse musical styles.

Maple Neck With 7.25" Radius Round-Laminate Rosewood Or Maple Fingerboard And Vintage Tall Frets

The 7.25” radius fingerboard provides vintage comfort and feel, while vintage-tall frets provide slightly more height than vintage for big bends and wide vibrato.

Mid-'60s "C"-Shaped Neck

Based on a mid-'60s "C” profile, this comfortably rounded "C" is slim at the nut and gradually thickens toward the 12th fret for an intuitive and inviting feel.

Vintage-Style Mid-‘60s Pickups

There’s really nothing like the timeless singing, snapping, screaming and sparkling sound of Fender single-coil pickups. These mid-‘60s spec pickups are full of the crystal-clear chime and raw, steely twang that made Fender instruments famous.

Vintage-Style 3-Saddle Bridge With Threaded Steel Saddles

Featuring a classic 3-saddle bridge with rock-solid string-through-body design and three threaded steel saddles for authentic ‘60s Tele twang.

Vintage-Style Tuning Machines

These tuning machines offer the look and feel of vintage machines with a finer gear ratio and enhanced tuning stability.
