Fender Mustang Mid '60s Vintera III RW Sonic Blue

The Essentials to Know About the Fender Vintera III Mid '60s Mustang Guitar

• Vintage look and feel faithful to mid-60s Mustangs, featuring a Sonic Blue "Gloss Polyester" finish and carefully crafted aesthetic binding.


• Immediate comfort thanks to the maple neck with a "Mid '60s C" profile, 7.25" / 184 mm radius, and 22 "Vintage Tall" frets.


• Clear and incisive tone from two Vintage-Style Mid '60s Mustang single-coil pickups, Volume/Tone controls, and two On/Off slider switches.


• Floating Mustang tremolo with 6 saddles for precise intonation and smooth vibratos.

A Modern Tribute to the Sixties Mustangs

Designed as part of the Vintera III series, this Mustang revives the spirit of mid-60s models while ensuring contemporary reliability. It features classic Fender DNA: alder body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, vintage hardware, and period details, making it an inspiring instrument both on stage and in the studio.

For Which Musician and Styles?

Ideal for beginner to intermediate guitarists seeking a lightweight, manageable, and responsive instrument. Its personality shines in indie, surf, garage, pop, alternative rock, and punk, while remaining comfortable in both sparkling cleans and dynamic crunch tones. The short scale length facilitates bends and extended chords.

The Sound

The alder body provides attack and balanced mids, while the maple neck/rosewood fingerboard combination offers articulation and warmth. The two "Mid '60s" single-coil pickups deliver sparkling cleans, a woody grain in rhythm playing, and great definition when saturated. The independent On/Off slider switches (one per pickup) allow instant switching from the biting bridge pickup to the rounder neck pickup, or combining both. The floating Mustang tremolo, paired with the 6-saddle bridge, promotes sustain and precise intonation for expressive vibratos without sacrificing tuning stability.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the original feel, opt for a set of Fender USA 250L .009-.042 strings (ref. PN 0730250403). Add a 1/4" instrument cable, a standard guitar strap, and a clip-on tuner; all perfectly compatible with this Mustang. A stable guitar stand and a microfiber cloth will help protect the glossy finish. A deluxe gig bag is already included.
