Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Black

The Early '60s Strat Tone Fender Finally Got Exactly Right

The Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster is the result of years of research into what exactly makes an early 1960s Stratocaster so special. Not an approximation, not an interpretation – but a reconstruction as accurate as possible of the instrument that shaped guitar history. And in Black, it looks timeless.

The three Vintera III '60s Single-Coil pickups are specially wound to reproduce the characteristic tone of that period: crystal clear, slightly nasal in the middle position, and with that unmistakable quack in the in-between positions. The 5-way switch gives you access to all classic Strat positions, while the vintage-style tremolo adds subtle vibrato without compromising tuning. This is a guitar that responds to every nuance of your playing.

The alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fretboard form the classic Strat combination that has set the standard for decades. The Early '60s "C" neck profile is comfortable and familiar, the 7.25" radius gives the fretboard a slightly curved feel typical of vintage Fenders. With 21 frets, dot inlays, and a 25.5" scale length, this guitar plays exactly as you would expect from a true '60s Strat. Vintage-style tuners complete the picture.

For those seeking the true Strat experience without compromising on historical accuracy.
