A Telecaster Inspired by Fender's Golden Age
Designed as a tribute to mid-60s Telecasters, the Vintera III preserves the era's aesthetics and feel while ensuring modern reliability. Within the Fender range, it represents the ideal entry point into the "correct vintage" DNA made in Mexico, with faithful specs and refined playability.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
Versatile yet distinctly Tele, it is aimed at beginner to advanced guitarists seeking a responsive instrument for country, rock, pop, indie, funk, and blues. The mid-60s "C" neck offers an immediate grip, while the rosewood fingerboard subtly rounds off the attack for both rhythm and lead playing.
The Sound
The two "Mid '60s" single-coil pickups deliver the crystal-clear brightness, tight lows, and twang that made the Telecaster legendary. The vintage 3-saddle threaded steel bridge enhances attack and brightness, with surprising sustain. The ash/maple/rosewood combination provides punch, well-defined mids, and excellent dynamic response. The 3-position selector and Volume/Tone controls allow switching from a sharp, incisive snap to a rounder sound on the neck pickup.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the original tone, choose Fender USA 250L .009-.042 strings. For superior protection on the road, add a Fender molded hard case for Tele/Strat solid body (the Deluxe Gig Bag is already included). A standard strap and a quality 6.35 mm jack cable will perfectly complete your setup.
