Fender Vintera III Late '60s Stratocaster RW, Ocean Turquoise Overview
The Fender Vintera III Late '60s Stratocaster captures the unmistakable sound and style of Fender's late '60s era. Featuring the iconic large Strat headstock and a maple neck paired with a rosewood fingerboard, this instrument delivers the punchy attack, sparkling highs, and dynamic clarity that helped define Stratocaster tone during the decade. A trio of vintage-style late '60s single-coil pickups produces the articulate voice that made the Strat a favourite across countless genres, offering everything from bright rhythm tones to expressive lead sounds.
The late '60s "C" neck profile provides a comfortable, familiar feel that sits naturally in the hand, with the 7.25" radius fingerboard of classic Fender instruments. Vintage tall frets give you slightly more height than traditional vintage wire, making bends and vibrato smooth while maintaining an authentic feel. A vintage-style six-screw synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles adds classic Strat shimmer and expressive pitch control, while vintage-style tuning machines provide dependable stability. The Vintera III delivers timeless Fender character for modern players.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionDynamic late '60s Stratocaster tone
The Vintera III Late ’60s Stratocaster is built around three vintage-style late '60s Strat single-coil pickups that recreate the expressive, articulate sound associated with the era. These pickups deliver a sparkling high-end clarity and lively response with enough punch and warmth to cover a wide range of styles. The bridge pickup produces crisp rhythm tones and cutting lead sounds that stand out clearly in a mix, while the neck pickup offers smooth, rounded tones ideal for blues and melodic playing. The middle pickup balances the two, and when combined in the classic in-between switch positions it produces the unmistakable Strat quack.
Comfortable late '60s neck profile
The maple neck features a late '60s "C" profile designed to recreate the feel of Fender instruments from the period. Its rounded shape provides a comfortable grip that supports both chord work and fluid lead playing. The rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface under the fingers, while the 7.25" radius maintains the traditional curved feel associated with vintage Stratocasters. Vintage tall frets offer slightly more height than classic vintage wire, making bends and vibrato easier while preserving the classic feel that players associate with vintage Fender guitars.
Classic synchronized tremolo response
The vintage-style six-screw synchronized tremolo is a key feature of the Stratocaster design, and the Vintera III Late '60s model stays true to that tradition. Fitted with bent steel saddles, this bridge contributes to the Strat's bright, articulate attack and lively resonance. The tremolo system allows players to add subtle shimmer or dramatic pitch movement, making it an essential part of the Strat's expressive character. The tremolo responds smoothly and musically, delivering the classic feel and sound associated with vintage Stratocasters.
Period-correct details and classic styling
Beyond its tone and playability, the Vintera III Late '60s Stratocaster captures the visual character of Fender instruments from the era. The distinctive large Strat headstock immediately evokes late ’60s styling while maintaining the familiar Fender silhouette. Vintage-style tuning machines provide smooth adjustment and reliable tuning stability while preserving the authentic look of the period. A bone nut helps improve sustain and tuning consistency. Every detail contributes to a Stratocaster that feels true to the era while delivering dependable modern performance.
