Product Description

The Fender Vintera III Early 60s Stratocaster in Black delivers the unmistakable look, feel and sound of a golden-era Strat, with modern build consistency and rock-solid reliability. With its alder body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, plus a trio of vintage-style early 60s single-coil pickups, this guitar is all about bright, glassy chime, punchy attack and inspiring dynamics that sit perfectly in any mix.

Carefully voiced pickups, a period-correct neck profile and a vintage-style tremolo all come together to give you the character and response of an early 60s original, without the price tag or the worry of taking a museum piece on stage. Whether you are chasing classic surf cleans, bluesy bite or expressive lead tones, the Vintera III Early 60s Stratocaster is built to keep you connected to the music and comfortable for hours of playing.

Authentic Early 60s Feel

The Early 60s C-shaped neck profile is designed to feel instantly familiar, with a comfortable, rounded carve that sits naturally in the hand. Combined with a 7.25 inch radius rosewood fingerboard and vintage-tall frets, you get that slinky, period-correct feel under the fingers, while still having enough fret height for confident bends and vibrato without fretting out.

Classic Strat Tone

Three vintage-style early 60s single-coil Strat pickups capture the bright, bell-like chime and clear articulation that made the Stratocaster a studio and stage staple. From crisp neck pickup cleans to the iconic in-between positions, the Vintera III Early 60s Stratocaster delivers a wide palette of usable tones that respond beautifully to your picking dynamics and the volume and tone controls.

Vintage-Style Hardware

A 6-saddle vintage-style synchronised tremolo with bent steel saddles provides smooth pitch modulation and that classic Strat shimmer, while also contributing to the guitar’s lively resonance. Vintage-style tuning machines and a 4-bolt neck plate complete the period-correct aesthetic, giving you the look and feel of an early 60s instrument with modern manufacturing precision.

Timeless Black Strat Aesthetic

The gloss polyester Black finish, paired with a 3-ply mint green pickguard and vintage white plastics, delivers a timeless, stage-ready look that suits any genre. Alder body construction keeps the guitar resonant and balanced, while the maple neck and rosewood fingerboard combination adds clarity, warmth and definition to every note.

Features
  • Vintage-Style Early 60s Single-Coil Pickups - A trio of period-inspired Strat pickups delivers bright, articulate tones with plenty of chime and snap, making it easy to cover everything from glassy cleans to gritty overdrive while retaining note definition.
  • Early 60s C Neck with 7.25 Inch Radius - The comfortable Early 60s C-shaped neck and rounded 7.25 inch fingerboard radius offer a familiar, vintage feel that encourages relaxed playing, ideal for chord work, rhythm parts and expressive lead lines.
  • 6-Saddle Vintage-Style Synchronised Tremolo - The classic 6-screw tremolo with bent steel saddles provides smooth vibrato and the characteristic Strat shimmer, while also enhancing resonance and sustain for a more responsive playing experience.
  • Timeless Black Finish with Mint Green Pickguard - The sleek Black body, 3-ply mint green pickguard and vintage white plastics create an instantly recognisable look that stands out on stage and complements the guitar’s authentic vintage character.
