An Icon of the Sixties, Reissued in the Vintera III Series

Designed to capture the spirit of Fender models from the mid-60s period, this Vintera III brings the Jazzmaster codes back to life: alder body, specific Lead/Rhythm electronics, and period-correct look. It stands as the "vintage feel" option in the range, for players who want the character of yesteryear without compromising modern reliability.

Who Is It For and Which Styles?

Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists, it excels in surf, indie, alternative rock, shoegaze, and modern jazz. The 7.25" radius fingerboard facilitates chord playing, and the floating vibrato invites soaring textures. Passionate beginners will also find an inspiring and evolving instrument.

The Tone

The two mid '60s Jazzmaster single-coils deliver sparkling highs, woody mids, and airy lows. The alder body provides balance, while the rosewood fingerboard softens the attack. The long 25.5" / 648 mm scale length favors precision and sustain, and the Lead/Rhythm circuit offers two worlds: a Lead mode with master volume/tone for the stage, and a dedicated Rhythm mode with two knobs for the neck pickup, producing rounder, mellower tones. The stable and musical vintage floating vibrato adds subtle nuances without pulling the tuning out of control.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To protect the guitar, opt for a Fender hard case in Jazzmaster/Jaguar format. For maintenance and playing, a set of nickel 10-46 strings (Fender 250R type) respects the original tension and response, and a flat capo will perfectly suit the vintage 7.25" radius.
