A Fender Icon Reissued, True to the Golden Age
Designed as a tribute to mid-1960s Mustangs, the Vintera III captures the aesthetic codes and feel of the original models while benefiting from consistent modern manufacturing. Within the Fender range, it embodies the small-scale, lively, and fun instrument with a compact look and strong personality.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
Thanks to its short scale and easy playability, this Mustang suits beginners as well as intermediate players seeking an inspiring instrument. Its range shines in indie, surf, garage, pop, alternative rock, and soul, with enough bite to cut through a mix and dynamics that respond well to pedals.
The Sound
The two mid '60s single-coil pickups deliver sparkling highs, woody mids, and tight lows, typical of vintage Mustangs. The alder body provides attack and punch, while the maple neck/rosewood fingerboard softens the upper spectrum. The floating vibrato adds smoothness and promotes singing sustain. The simple electronics (Master Volume, Master Tone) and two On/Off slider switches allow independent activation of each pickup to switch from a snappy twang to a rounder tone in one gesture.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Delivered with a Deluxe gig bag, this Mustang ideally accepts nickel strings in 9-42 gauge (such as Fender 250L) to preserve the short scale's flexibility. Add a quality 6.35 mm instrument cable and a standard strap to secure your playing on stage.
