Embrace the authentic vintage spirit and legendary sound of Vintera® III – where every detail tells the story.
A classic Fender tonewood known for resonance, punch and clarity, alder has a balanced and lively tone with beefy mids and a robust low-end, while the elegant double binding adds sophisticated visual appeal and premium appointments to complement the instrument's classic aesthetics.
Round-laminate rosewood fingerboard adds warmth to the tone and the 7.25” radius fingerboard provides vintage comfort and feel, while vintage-tall frets provide slightly more height than vintage for big bends and wide vibrato.
Early-'60s "C" shaped neck provides authentic vintage feel with comfortable, balanced profile for optimal playability and classic Telecaster performance.
There’s really nothing like the timeless singing, snapping, screaming and sparkling sound of Fender single-coil pickups. These 1963 spec pickups are full of the crystal-clear chime and raw, steely twang that made Fender instruments famous.
