The Fender Vintera III line is the next evolution of Fender’s most popular vintage-spec series from Mexico. Building on the massive success of the Vintera II, this new line focuses on even deeper "early" and "late" decade distinctions, offering players a refined, "golden era" experience with premium upgrades previously reserved for higher-end models.

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 Late '50s Stratocaster® features an alder body paired with a 1-piece maple neck and maple fingerboard, delivering that unmistakable Fender sound brimming with punch and crystal-clear articulation. The authentic late '50s “D”-shaped neck profile offers an instantly familiar playing experience that feels natural in your hands, while the 7.25" radius fingerboard with vintage-tall frets ensures supreme comfort and outstanding feel. At its heart, three meticulously crafted late '50s spec'd pickups capture the bright, singing tones that established Fender's reputation during this pivotal era. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo system provides effortless pitch manipulation, 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.
