A Faithful Tribute to the Late Sixties Strat
Designed as a modern reissue, the Vintera III Late '60s draws inspiration from CBS-era Stratocasters: large headstock with iconic look, 3-ply "parchment" pickguard, and nickel/chrome hardware. Made in Mexico, it captures the aesthetic and ergonomic codes of that period while offering the reliability of contemporary manufacturing.
Intended Use and Skill Level
Versatile and immediate, it suits guitarists from beginners to advanced seeking traditional Fender tone. Ideal for rock, blues, funk, soul, pop, and any style where articulation and dynamics are key, with positions 2 and 4 perfect for snappy rhythm playing.
Sound
The ash body provides attack and brightness, while the maple fingerboard enhances treble clarity. The three "Vintage-Style Late '60s" single-coil pickups deliver crystalline sounds, from percussive twang at the bridge to warm tones at the neck, with the famous "quack" in the intermediate positions. The 6-screw tremolo and bent steel saddles add chime and natural sustain. Electronics with master volume and two tone controls (one dedicated to the bridge pickup) allow smoothing of the highs without losing definition.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Deluxe gig bag included. For maintenance and playing, choose a set of electric strings .009-.042 nickel "Fender 250L" (factory compatible) and a standard strap for classic strap buttons. A quality instrument cable jack/jack straight cable will ensure a clean and durable signal.
