Fender Vintera III Early ’60s Stratocaster Rosewood Sonic Blue Overview

The Fender Vintera III Early ’60s Stratocaster in Sonic Blue channels the bright, chimey character that defined Fender’s rise in the early 1960s. Built with an alder body, maple neck, and round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, it delivers punch, clarity, and the unmistakable sparkle that made the Strat a staple across genres.

An authentic Early ’60s “C”-shaped neck profile pairs with a 7.25" radius and vintage-tall frets for a classic feel under the hands. Three vintage-style early-’60s single-coil pickups provide articulate cleans, glassy highs, and balanced midrange, while a vintage-style synchronized tremolo and period-correct tuners complete the experience.

  • Three vintage-style early-’60s Strat single-coil pickups
