A comfortable late '60s C-shaped maple neck and round-laminated rosewood fingerboard provide an instantly familiar feel, while the 7.25 inch radius and vintage-tall frets make chords effortless and bends expressive. A vintage-style synchronised tremolo and Fender vintage F-stamped tuners complete the package with authentic looks and smooth performance. If you want a Strat that captures the spirit of the late sixties without hunting down a fragile original, the Vintera III Late '60s Stratocaster is built to inspire every time you plug in.

Authentic Late '60s Strat Feel

The late '60s C-shaped neck profile is designed to feel immediately at home, with enough depth to fill the hand without feeling bulky. Combined with the 7.25 inch fingerboard radius and vintage-tall frets, you get a classic, rounded feel that makes rhythm work comfortable and leads fluid, with just the right amount of resistance under the fingers.

Vintage-Style Late '60s Pickups

Three vintage-style late '60s single-coil Strat pickups capture the bright, dynamic character that put Fender on countless legendary recordings. Expect crisp highs, a focused midrange and tight lows, along with those iconic in-between positions for quack and shimmer. The 5-way switch and dedicated bridge tone control make it easy to move from glassy cleans to biting overdrive with subtle tweaks.

Classic Alder Body and Big Headstock Aesthetic

The alder body delivers a balanced tonal foundation with clear highs, punchy mids and a solid low end that responds well to pedals and amps alike. Finished in a gloss polyester 3-Colour Sunburst and paired with the period-correct big Strat headstock, parchment pickguard and vintage white plastics, this guitar looks every bit as timeless as it sounds.

Vintage-Style Hardware and Tremolo

A 6-saddle vintage-style synchronised tremolo with bent steel saddles offers smooth, expressive pitch modulation while retaining clarity and sustain. Fender vintage F-stamped tuning machines and butterfly string tree provide stable tuning and a classic look, so you can lean into vibrato and tremolo work with confidence.
