A Vibrant Tribute to Late Sixties Strats
Designed in the spirit of the 1967-1969 models, the Vintera III Late '60s Stratocaster embraces the CBS era codes: large headstock, vintage hardware, and retro finishes. It is part of the Vintera III range as a "vintage correct" reference, created to recapture the feel and look of the period without compromise.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a responsive and expressive Strat. It excels in classic rock, blues, funk, pop, and soul, with enough versatility for surf or indie textures. The comfortable late "C" neck profile ensures immediate playability.
Sound Characteristics
The three "Late '60s" single coils deliver a clear and articulate spectrum, with bright highs and punchy mids. Positions 2 and 4 offer the famous Strat "quack," perfect for snappy funk and airy arpeggios. The alder body provides balance and punch, the maple neck adds attack, while the rosewood fingerboard softens the high frequencies. The vintage 6-screw tremolo with steel saddles enhances bite and sustain while remaining smooth for subtle vibratos. The long scale length ensures the typical Strat tension and snap.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Delivered with a Deluxe gig bag, it pairs perfectly with a hard case for Stratocaster (standard Fender Strat/Tele format), a .009-.042 string set (Fender USA 250L), a classic strap, and a quality 6.35 mm jack cable. These essentials will preserve playing comfort and tuning stability while protecting the instrument during transport.
