The Vintera III lineup takes you back to Fender’s formative age of guitar innovation, reviving the brand’s most beloved instruments with component-level vintage accuracy. These historic guitars and basses spotlight pivotal eras of Fender production, from the gold-tinged Strats of the late 1950s to the block-bound Jazz Basses of the early 1970s. Each model is crafted with era-accurate pickups, a vintage-spec neck, and traditional Fender hardware — in essence, these are Leo Fender and company’s groundbreaking creations realized exactly as they were first envisioned decades ago. Rest assured that when you pick up a Vintera III instrument, you’re playing the guitars and basses that shaped music history.
During the mid and late 1950s, Fender transitioned away from heavy ash bodies to lightweight alder bodies for all but the transparent finishes, which were bolstered by significant contouring to ensure maximum playing comfort, especially when standing. The Fender Limited Vintera III Late ’50s Stratocaster reflects these design elements, showcasing a contoured ash body that fits like a glove. Moreover, this Strat boasts a hand-filling Late ’50s D-shaped neck, which has slightly wider shoulders, starting off slim at the nut and thickening moderately as you approach the 12th fret. You also get a vintage-style 7.25-inch-radius fingerboard, crowned with vintage-tall frets that allow for enthusiastic string bending without fretting out. Lastly, the Limited Vintera III Late ’50s Strat features a vintage-style synchronized tremolo with bent-steel saddles and matching tuning machines, offering authentic aesthetics and superior tuning precision.
Guitar aficionados consider late-’50s Strats to be among the most sought-after models in Fender history, thanks at least in part to their captivating alnico-fueled sound. Equipped with vintage-style 1958-spec’d single-coil Strat pickups, the Limited Vintera III Late ’50s Stratocaster re-creates these iconic tones with picture-book perfection. No matter what you plug it into, this stellar solidbody electric guitar delivers the flawless blend of sweet highs, full midrange, and rounded bass response that defined the late-’50s golden era. Tying it all together are a Master Volume knob, two Tone knobs, and flexible 5-way switching, providing you with a universe of potential tones to explore.
