Fender Vintera III Late 60s Stratocaster 3 Tone Sunburst

Late Sixties Strat DNA in a Modern Design — Fender Vintera III Late 60s Stratocaster

The late sixties were a special period for the Stratocaster: the neck became fuller, the pickups gained a warmer character, and the entire instrument exuded a certain gravitas that perfectly suited the music of that era. The Fender Vintera III Late 60s Stratocaster brings back exactly that version, with period-correct specs and the build quality you expect from today's Fender Mexico. In 3 Tone Sunburst, this is a guitar that looks as good as it sounds.

The sound is warm, full, and organic — characteristic of the late 60s Strat. The Pure Vintage '68 single-coil pickups deliver a richer, slightly thicker tone than the sharper-sounding early Strats, with a pronounced midrange that works excellently for blues, classic rock, and soul. The five-way switch gives you access to all the classic in-between positions, with those typical quacky Strat tones that no other guitar can match.

The neck is a maple U-profile — fuller than the modern C — with a 9.5" radius fingerboard and 21 vintage frets. The body is alder, finished in the iconic 3 Tone Sunburst lacquer. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo and Kluson-style tuners complete the authentic picture. The guitar is ready to play right out of the box and requires no additional setup.

A Stratocaster with character and history in its DNA — for the player who looks beyond the surface.
