Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster; Black

Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster; Black

A detailed recreation of the early-1960s blueprint, featuring a rosewood fingerboard and the refined, chimey tonal profile characteristic of the era.


The Fender Vintera III series is dedicated to the meticulous preservation of the designs that defined the most influential decades in music history. By focusing on period-correct specifications and authentic material selections, this series provides modern players with the specific aesthetic and sonic performance of vintage '50s, '60s, and '70s instruments.

The Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster utilises an alder body paired with a maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard - the classic tonewood combination that introduced a warmer, more sophisticated edge to the Fender lineup. The neck is carved to an authentic early '60s "C" profile, complemented by a 7.25" radius fingerboard and vintage-tall frets for a smooth and traditionally accurate playing feel.

Vintage-Voiced Electronics & Dynamics

  • Early '60s Single-Coils: Features three vintage-style pickups spec'd to deliver the bright, "chimey" tones and crystalline articulation associated with the early 1960s.

  • Refined Tonal Depth: The rosewood fingerboard adds a subtle warmth and richness to the instrument's harmonic profile, providing a smooth contrast to the punchy alder body.

  • Optimized Pickup Calibration: Wound to capture the specific output and frequency response that established the Stratocaster as a versatile studio and stage standard.

Era-Specific Hardware & Build

  • Synchronised Tremolo: A vintage-style bridge assembly that allows for fluid pitch manipulation and expressive vibrato while maintaining authentic string tension.

  • Traditional Tuning Machines: Period-correct hardware provides a classic visual profile while delivering modern tuning precision and stability.

  • Early '60s "C" Profile: A slimmer, more rounded neck shape compared to '50s counterparts, offering an ergonomic experience that feels natural for a variety of playing styles.


Crafted for the discerning musician, the Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster balances historical accuracy with the durability required for the modern professional. It is an ideal instrument for those seeking the legendary "pre-CBS" era feel and sound, providing a reliable platform for both expressive lead work and percussive rhythm performances.
