Fender Vintera III Mid '60s Mustang Rosewood Dakota Red Overview

The Fender Vintera III Mid ’60s Mustang in Dakota Red captures the distinctive feel and tone of Fender’s mid-’60s offset era. Built with an alder body and a maple neck topped with a round-laminated 7.25" rosewood fingerboard, it delivers punch, clarity, and the sweet, woody character that made the Mustang a cult favorite.

The authentic Mid ’60s “C”-shaped neck profile feels instantly familiar, while vintage-tall frets and the short 24" scale make bends and chord work effortless. A pair of vintage-style mid-’60s single-coil Mustang pickups provide sparkling highs and warm mids, and the floating Mustang tremolo adds expressive pitch control without sacrificing tuning stability.

  • Mid ’60s “C”-shape maple neck with 7.25" rosewood fingerboard
  • 24" short scale for a slinky, comfortable feel
  • Dual vintage-style mid-’60s Mustang single-coil pickups
