Fender Vintera III Late '50s Stratocaster; Dakota Red

Fender Vintera III Late '50s Stratocaster; Dakota Red

A precision-engineered tribute to the late-1950s Stratocaster, capturing the bright, singing resonance and ergonomic refinements of a definitive era.


The Fender Vintera III series focuses on the meticulous recreation of the instruments that shaped the landscape of modern music. By combining period-accurate specifications with high-quality manufacturing, this series provides the authentic look, feel, and tonal architecture of iconic '50s, '60s, and '70s models for the contemporary performer.

This model features a resonant alder body paired with a classic one-piece maple neck and fingerboard. The construction utilises an authentic late '50s "D" neck profile, offering a substantial yet comfortable grip that facilitates natural hand positioning. The fingerboard is finished with a traditional 7.25" radius and vintage-tall frets, balancing historical accuracy with a smooth, tactile response.

Signature 1950s Electronics

  • Late '50s Spec Pickups: A trio of meticulously voiced single-coil pickups designed to produce the crystalline highs and punchy mids that defined the Stratocaster’s reputation.

  • Five-Way Switching: While maintaining vintage tone, the electronics provide the versatility required for a wide range of genres, from clean "chime" to overdriven bite.

  • Balanced Articulation: The pickup winding and magnet selection ensure a bright, singing character with exceptional note definition across all strings.

Vintage-Spec Hardware

  • Synchronised Tremolo: A vintage-style bridge system that allows for smooth, expressive pitch manipulation while maintaining the guitar's natural resonance.

  • Period-Correct Tuning Machines: Traditional aesthetics are combined with superior internal gearing to provide enhanced tuning precision and reliability.

  • Authentic 1-Piece Maple Construction: The integrated neck and fingerboard design contributes to a snappier attack and increased harmonic content.


The Vintera III Late '50s Stratocaster is designed for players who require the specific sonic footprint and aesthetic charm of the late 1950s. Built with a commitment to durability and period-correct detail, it serves as a professional-grade tool capable of delivering legendary Fender performance in any recording or live environment.
