Authentic late '50s feel

The Vintera III Late '50s Stratocaster is built to reflect the details that shaped Fender's formative years. Its alder body provides balanced resonance with tight lows, clear mids, and shimmering highs that respond beautifully to your touch. The one-piece maple neck features an authentic late '50s "D"-shaped profile that feels substantial yet comfortable, offering a reassuring grip for chords and fluid movement for lead work. A 7.25" radius fingerboard enhances the vintage experience, while vintage-tall frets provide a touch more height for expressive bends and smooth vibrato.

Classic Strat single-coil sparkle

At the core of this Strat are three vintage-style Late '50s single-coil pickups, carefully voiced to recreate the bright, articulate tones that established Fender's legendary reputation. Expect crisp highs, punchy lows, and that unmistakable glassy clarity in the in-between positions. From chiming cleans to edge-of-breakup blues and classic rock drive, the SSS configuration offers dynamic response and tonal nuance. The traditional 5-position blade switch and dedicated tone controls for neck, middle, and bridge pickups give you versatile, performance-ready control.

Vintage hardware and tremolo response

The 6-saddle vintage-style synchronised tremolo with bent steel saddles delivers smooth pitch control and classic Strat shimmer. Its 6-screw mounting design maintains authentic feel and resonance, while the screw-in tremolo arm provides reliable operation on stage or in the studio. Fender vintage-style tuning machines enhance the period-correct look and offer stable, precise tuning. Details like the one-ply white pickguard, parchment plastics, and butterfly string trees complete the cohesive late '50s aesthetic.

Timeless design in 3-Color Sunburst

Finished in striking 3-Color Sunburst gloss polyester, this Strat stands out while staying true to its heritage roots. The colour pairs beautifully with the maple neck and parchment appointments, delivering a bold yet refined presence under stage lights. From the 4-bolt vintage-style neck plate to the bone nut and classic headstock silhouette, every element reflects Fender's enduring design language. The result is a guitar that blends historic accuracy with dependable craftsmanship, ready to inspire wherever you plug in.
