Embrace the authentic vintage spirit and legendary sound of Vintera® III – where every detail tells the story.
Classic Fender tonewoods known for exceptional resonance and clarity, alder delivers balanced tone with beefy mids and robust low-end, while ash provides enhanced punch and brightness with prominent grain patterns, offering versatile tonal options for diverse musical styles.
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.
Based on a mid-'60s "C” profile, this comfortably rounded "C" is slim at the nut and gradually thickens toward the 12th fret for an intuitive and inviting feel.
There’s really nothing like the timeless singing, snapping, screaming and sparkling sound of Fender single-coil pickups. These mid-‘60s spec pickups are full of the crystal-clear chime and raw, steely twang that made Fender instruments famous.
This Vintera® III Telecaster® features a classic 3-saddle bridge with rock-solid string-through-body design and three threaded steel saddles for authentic ‘60s Tele® twang.
These tuning machines offer the look and feel of vintage machines with a finer gear ratio and enhanced tuning stability.
