A Strat That Celebrates the Early Sixties
With the Vintera III series, Fender pays tribute to the Stratocasters from the very early 60s: period-correct aesthetics, familiar feel, and faithful craftsmanship. Made in Mexico, this Early '60s model stands as the vintage-authentic option in the range, ready to deliver the "chime" and dynamics that shaped decades of music.
Who and What Is It For?
Ideal for beginner to advanced guitarists seeking the snappy response and versatility of a classic Strat. From surf to blues, 60s rock to modern funk, its scooped positions 2 and 4, smooth neck pickup, and bright bridge cover a wide spectrum on stage and in the studio.
The Sound
The alder/maple combination with rosewood fingerboard provides a bright balance: tight lows, singing mids, and sparkling highs. The three "early 60s" single-coils offer attack and articulation, while the 5-position selector switch unfolds the classic scooped intermediate tones. The 6-screw synchronized tremolo and bone nut enhance sustain, expression, and tuning stability without compromising vintage character.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Deluxe gig bag included. To preserve and optimize the instrument: electric string set 9-42 (nickel) as original, standard strap with classic strap buttons, hard Stratocaster case for transport, stable "A" frame guitar stand or tripod.
