Fender’s Offbeat Offset in All Its Vintage Glory

The Fender Vintera III Mid ’60s Mustang replicates Fullerton’s short-scale underdog in its most iconic iteration, leveraging era-accurate design and components to ensure a true vintage vibe. This solidbody electric guitar’s slab alder body is just a touch smaller than your average Strat or Tele, while the short 24-inch scale length allows for slinky bends up and down the 7.25-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard’s vintage-tall frets. Next, the Mid ’60s C maple neck re-creates the slim, speedy feel of Fender’s golden-era Mustangs. In tonal terms, two Mid ’60s Mustang single-coil pickups dish out a bright, biting, and percussive punch, while the old-school 3-way slider switches enable funky out-of-phase tones in the middle position. You also get a classic Mustang floating tremolo and vintage-spec tuners, enabling wild pitch-bending flourishes with superb tuning stability. Finished in a variety of 1960s-style colors, the Fender Vintera III Mid ’60s Mustang expands your 6-string arsenal with unabashedly old-school tone, trim, and performance.

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.

Era-inspired pickups and switching

Originally intended as Fender’s “student model,” the Fender Mustang was wholeheartedly adopted by indie rockers, grunge icons, and shoegazers decades after it first debuted in 1964. Why? The Mustang boasts a singular sound distinct from any other Fender 6-string. As for this Vintera III Mustang, Guitarists confirm that its Mid-’60s single-coil pickups dish out vintage-voiced cut, jangle, and chime, reviving the very sound that the model would have debuted with. Quacky out-of-phase switching options seal the deal, rounding out your tonal toolbox with a uniquely funky and percussive twist on classic Fender tone.

Easy-playing Mid ’60s C neck

Fender’s Vintera III lineup is all about providing you with the tone, feel, and sound of an original golden-era classic, and nowhere is that mission more evident than in this Mustang’s neck profile. A premium shaft of maple in a Mid ’60s C profile starts with a slim feel at the nut and then subtly widens out toward the 12th fret. Next, a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard sports a traditional 7.25-inch radius for comfortable chording, while the vintage tall frets strike a balance between period-correct precision and modern playability. Finished off with a short 24-inch scale length, this Mustang takes you back to the model’s 1960s heyday.
