Every detail is geared towards an authentic late '50s experience, from the comfortable "D" profile neck and vintage 7.25 inch radius fingerboard to the six-screw synchronised tremolo and vintage-style tuners. Whether you are chasing period-correct tones, need a workhorse for the studio and stage, or simply want that unmistakable Fender feel under your fingers, the Vintera III Late '50s Stratocaster delivers in style.

Authentic Late '50s Feel

The late '50s "D" shaped neck profile offers a substantial yet comfortable handful that feels instantly familiar if you love vintage Fenders. Combined with the 7.25 inch radius maple fingerboard and 21 vintage-tall frets, you get that classic, slightly rounded feel under the fingers, with enough fret height for confident bends and vibrato without losing that old-school vibe.

Classic Alder and Maple Construction

An alder body paired with a one-piece maple neck and maple fingerboard is a time-tested Fender recipe. Alder keeps things balanced and resonant, with tight lows and a focused midrange, while maple adds snap and definition. Plugged in or unplugged, the guitar feels lively and responsive, giving your picking hand plenty of dynamic range to play with.

Vintage-Style Late '50s Pickups

The three vintage-style late '50s single-coil Strat pickups are voiced to capture the bright, singing character of original late '50s instruments. Expect bell-like neck tones, cutting bridge sparkle and those iconic in-between sounds for funk, blues and clean rhythm work. The 5-way switch layout keeps everything familiar and flexible, making it easy to move from glassy cleans to biting leads.

Period-Correct Hardware and Tremolo

A 6-saddle vintage-style synchronised tremolo with bent steel saddles delivers smooth pitch modulation and that unmistakable Strat "sproing" in both feel and tone. Vintage-style tuners, butterfly string tree and a 4-bolt neck plate complete the period-correct look while providing solid tuning stability and a reassuringly classic playing experience.

FEATURES

• Late '50s "D" Neck Profile - The chunkier late '50s "D" shape fills the hand without feeling cumbersome, encouraging a relaxed grip and supporting both chord work and single-note lines. It is ideal if you prefer a more substantial neck that promotes sustain and control.
• 7.25 Inch Radius Maple Fingerboard with Vintage-Tall Frets - The vintage-radius board delivers a comfortable, familiar feel for chords and rhythm playing, while the taller fretwire makes bending easier and cleaner than on true period frets. You get the best of classic ergonomics with a touch of modern playability.
• Vintage-Style Late '50s Single-Coil Strat Pickups - Voiced to replicate late '50s Strat tones, these pickups offer sparkling highs, articulate mids and tight lows. From shimmering cleans to edge-of-breakup blues, they respond dynamically to your picking and volume control, making the guitar highly expressive.
• 6-Saddle Vintage-Style Synchronised Tremolo - The classic six-screw tremolo with bent steel saddles delivers smooth vibrato effects and contributes to the guitars airy, resonant tone. It also allows precise intonation adjustment across all six strings, keeping your chords and leads in tune up and down the neck.
