Which Fender guitars are in the Vintera III Series?

The Vintera III lineup is packed with cool throwbacks that’ll transport you straight back to Fender’s “golden era”. Here’s the full rundown…

Fender Vintera III Stratocaster guitars

• Late ’50s Stratocaster: Features an Alder body, a chunky one‑piece Maple neck with a comfortable “D” profile and 7.25” fingerboard radius, vintage‑style late ’50s pickups and a classic six‑point tremolo for authentic feel and response.
• Early ’60s Stratocaster: Built on a similar foundation to the late ’50s model, but with a slimmer “C”-shaped neck and glassy‑voiced single‑coils that perfectly capture that swinging sixties Strat sound.
• Late ’60s Stratocaster: A punchier take on the classic Strat formula, featuring hotter late ’60s‑style pickups and a period‑correct large headstock for extra attitude.
