DESCRIPTION:

The Fender® Vintera® III Series delivers meticulously crafted vintage-inspired instruments that capture the authentic look, feel, and tone of iconic Fender guitars from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.

The Limited Edition Vintera® III Late '50s Stratocaster® features an ash body finished in elegant White Blonde, allowing the natural wood grain to show through while preserving the unmistakable look of a classic late-'50s Strat.

A one-piece maple neck with an authentic Late '50s "D" profile provides a substantial yet comfortable playing feel. The 7.25" radius maple fingerboard is equipped with 21 Vintage Tall frets for a traditional Fender feel with smooth, responsive playability.

Three Vintage-Style 1958 Single-Coil Strat® pickups deliver the bright, articulate, and dynamic tones that helped define the Stratocaster sound of the era. The traditional 5-way switching layout provides access to everything from crisp bridge tones to smooth neck sounds and classic in-between positions.

A 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles provides traditional Stratocaster vibrato response, while Fender® vintage-style tuning machines complete the period-correct hardware package.

Premium gold hardware adds a distinctive upscale touch, making this limited edition model stand out while retaining the authentic styling and character of a late-'50s Stratocaster.
