Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Rosewood Fingerboard (Black)

The Vintera® III Early ’60s Stratocaster® captures the golden era of Fender’s most celebrated design period, bringing together authentic vintage appointments with modern playability. Built around a classic alder body matched to a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, this instrument produces the unmistakable punch and crystal‐clear articulation that defined the Fender sound. The early ’60s “C”‐shaped neck profile feels instantly familiar and natural in your hands, while the 7.25” radius fingerboard with vintage‐tall frets provides supreme comfort across all 21 frets.

Three meticulously crafted vintage‐style early ’60s single‐coil pickups sit at the heart of this guitar, producing the bright, chimey tones that established Fender’s legendary reputation during this pivotal era. The 5‐position blade switching offers classic Strat® versatility, from the bridge pickup’s bite through to the neck position’s warmth, with all the iconic in‐between sounds. A vintage‐style synchronized tremolo system with bent steel saddles provides effortless pitch manipulation, while period‐correct tuning machines combine authentic looks with reliable tuning stability. Finished in gloss polyester and fitted with a 3‐ply mint green pickguard, nickel/chrome hardware, and vintage white control knobs, every detail tells the story of Fender’s most influential decade.
