The Fender Limited Edition Vintera III Late '50s Stratocaster Maple in White Blonde is for the player who wants that true late '50s Strat tone, but with a premium visual twist. The see-thru White Blonde finish over ash lets the grain show through, and the gold hardware immediately sets this one apart. It has that classic 1958-inspired feel, but with an elevated look that feels special without losing its vintage roots.

The ash body gives you a slightly snappier, more open response compared to alder, and paired with the 1-piece maple neck, it delivers punch, clarity, and strong note definition. The Late '50s D neck profile feels substantial but comfortable, and the 7.25 inch radius with 21 vintage tall frets keeps everything period-correct under your hands. The trio of Vintage-Style 1958 single-coil Strat pickups bring bright top end, tight low end, and that glassy in-between tone that defines a proper late '50s SSS Strat. The 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles keeps vibrato smooth and expressive.

Gold hardware, including the bridge and appointments, gives this limited edition a refined edge without feeling flashy. Vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, and classic 4-bolt neck construction keep it grounded in tradition. The 25.5 inch scale length provides that familiar Strat snap and string tension, and the 1.650 inch nut width keeps the neck comfortable across styles. We like this one because it captures the tone and feel of a 1958 Strat, but adds just enough visual distinction to make it stand out on stage. A deluxe gig bag is included.
