Every detail has been chosen to recreate the character of a late '50s Stratocaster. The comfortable late '50s D-shaped neck, 7.25 inch radius maple fingerboard and vintage-tall frets give you that classic Fender playing feel, while the six-screw synchronised tremolo and vintage-style tuners keep things authentic under the right hand too. If you want a Strat that looks like a time-capsule original but is ready for the demands of modern stages and studios, the Vintera III Late '50s Stratocaster is a compelling choice.

Authentic Late '50s Feel

The late '50s D-shaped neck profile fills the hand in a reassuring, vintage way without feeling cumbersome. Combined with the 7.25 inch radius maple fingerboard and 21 vintage-tall frets, you get that slinky, rounded Fender feel that makes chords comfortable and bends expressive, ideal for players who love the response of classic instruments.

Classic Stratocaster Tone

Three vintage-style late '50s single-coil Strat pickups are voiced to capture the bright, glassy and dynamic sound that made the original Stratocaster a legend. From bell-like neck tones to cutting bridge leads and those unmistakable in-between sounds, the Vintera III delivers the clarity and chime that sit beautifully in a band mix.

Vintage-Style Hardware

A six-saddle vintage-style synchronised tremolo with bent steel saddles and a six-screw mounting delivers the feel and response of an original late '50s unit. Paired with Fender vintage-style tuners and a butterfly string tree, the hardware not only looks period-correct but also offers smooth vibrato action and stable tuning.

Striking Aztec Gold Finish

The gloss polyester Aztec Gold finish gives this Stratocaster a standout, stage-ready look that still feels rooted in Fender history. The combination of the gold body with a one-ply white pickguard and parchment plastics creates a classy, vintage-inspired aesthetic that will appeal to collectors and gigging players alike.

FEATURES
