The Fender Vintera III Late '50s Telecaster Maple in Dakota Red is built to capture the sound, feel, and visual character of Fender’s late-1950s instruments. Featuring an alder or ash body paired with a one-piece maple neck and fingerboard, it delivers the punchy attack, clarity, and snap that define classic Telecaster tone.
The late ‘50s “V”-shaped neck profile and 7.25” radius fingerboard provide a distinctly vintage playing experience, while two vintage-style single-coil pickups offer the bright, cutting response that made the Tele a staple across genres. A traditional 3-saddle bridge with steel barrel saddles and period-correct hardware complete a design rooted in classic Fender construction.
