Product Description
The Fender Vintera III Mid '60s Telecaster in 3-Colour Sunburst delivers the look, feel and sound of a classic mid-sixties Tele, with modern build consistency and reliability. With its alder body, period-correct neck carve and a pair of vintage-style mid '60s single-coil pickups, it is built for players who want authentic chime, snap and twang with a comfortably familiar playing experience.
From clean country licks and jangly indie rhythms to gritty blues and classic rock, this Telecaster covers a huge amount of ground while always sounding unmistakably Fender. The mid '60s "C" neck profile, 7.25" radius fingerboard and vintage-tall frets make it feel like a well-loved original, while the vintage-style bridge and tuners keep things looking and sounding right in every detail.
Authentic Mid '60s Tele Feel
The Vintera III Mid '60s Telecaster is built around a mid-sixties "C" shaped maple neck that feels instantly familiar in the hand. It is full enough to offer great support for chords and bends, yet slim enough to stay fast and comfortable for modern playing styles. Combined with the 7.25" radius round-laminated maple fingerboard and vintage-tall frets, you get that classic Fender feel with easy chording, smooth vibrato and precise intonation up and down the neck.
Classic Tele Tone with Mid '60s Voice
A pair of vintage-style mid '60s single-coil Tele pickups provide the bright, cutting and articulate tones that helped define an era. The bridge pickup delivers that familiar spank and bite that cuts through any mix, while the neck pickup offers a warmer, rounder voice perfect for soulful leads and smooth rhythm work. The three-way blade switch and simple master volume and tone controls make it easy to dial in everything from glassy cleans to gritty, dynamic overdrive.
Vintage-Correct Hardware and Styling
Fender have equipped the Vintera III Mid '60s Telecaster with a 3-saddle vintage-style Tele bridge featuring threaded steel saddles, giving you the classic look and feel along with the unmistakable Tele twang and snap. Vintage-style tuning machines, a 3-ply parchment pickguard and period-correct detailing complete the sixties aesthetic, making this guitar look like it has stepped straight out of a classic catalogue.
Reliable Modern Construction
While the Vintera III series is all about vintage character, it benefits from modern manufacturing consistency. The gloss polyester alder body finish is durable and stage-ready, while the gloss urethane neck finish feels smooth and comfortable. A bone nut, 4-bolt neck construction and Fender's tried-and-tested hardware ensure that this Telecaster is ready for regular gigging, rehearsals and studio sessions without compromising its vintage-inspired charm.
