Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Black Electric Guitar

Are you looking for an electric guitar with an authentic vintage tone, classic Fender look, and the distinctive sound of the early '60s? Then the Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Black Electric Guitar is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a faithful reproduction of an iconic Fender. The Fender Vintera III series features faithful reproductions of famous Fender guitars and basses from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. With authentic vintage tone, look, and feel, these models come remarkably close to their historical counterparts.

Crisp, clearly articulated, and present—that’s exactly how the guitar tone of the early ’60s is described. The Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Black electric guitar captures exactly this character and combines it with an alder body, a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, and three faithfully recreated Early '60s single-coil pickups. This model is designed for players who value clearly defined vintage features and a cohesive overall look in the style of the early '60s.

Body and Classic Stratocaster Style

The Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Black electric guitar features an alder body. This material specification is one of the instrument’s key characteristics and forms the foundation of its construction. The body is a solid-body Stratocaster design with a gloss polyester finish. This is complemented by the black color, which gives the instrument a clearly defined and classic aesthetic.

Other design features also underscore its authentic character. The three-ply mint green pickguard complements the look, as do the vintage white pickup covers, vintage white controls, and a vintage white toggle switch tip. Together with the nickel/chrome hardware, the overall look clearly positions the Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Black electric guitar within its vintage-inspired series.

Early '60s-style neck and fretboard

The neck of the Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Black electric guitar is made of maple and features a gloss urethane finish. The neck profile is described as an Early '60s "C," clearly reflecting its historical inspiration. The neck construction is a standard 4-bolt design, complemented by a Stratocaster headstock. These features make the neck specifications of this model precisely traceable.

The fingerboard is made of round-laminated rosewood and has a fingerboard radius of 7.25" or 184.1 mm. It also features 21 Vintage Tall frets, clay dot position markers, white side dots, and a nut width of 1.650" (42 mm). The nut is made of bone. This is complemented by a vintage-style butt-adjust truss rod with a matching truss rod nut and a scale length of 25.5" or 648 mm. This ensures that the Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Black electric guitar is fully and clearly described, even in terms of the neck and fretboard.

Vintage-style Early '60s single-coil pickups and classic Strat electronics

A key feature of the Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Black electric guitar is its SSS pickup configuration. Vintage-style Early '60s single-coil Strat pickups are used in the bridge, middle, and neck positions. These three faithfully recreated single-coils produce exactly the guitar tone with which Fender shaped the music scene during that era. For those seeking a Stratocaster with clearly identified Early '60s pickup configurations, this offers a precisely engineered solution.

Controls include a master volume, Tone 1 for the neck and middle pickups, and Tone 2 for the bridge pickup. This is complemented by a 5-position blade switch. Position 1 engages the bridge pickup, position 2 engages the bridge and middle pickups, position 3 engages the middle pickup, position 4 engages the middle and neck pickups, and position 5 engages the neck pickup. This classic Strat electronics setup makes the Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Black electric guitar intuitive to play and perfectly complements its vintage aesthetic.

Early '60s-style hardware

The Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Black electric guitar is equipped with a 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles. The bridge is mounted using a 6-screw vintage-style setup. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo produces nuanced bending effects and is one of the central hardware features of this model. This is complemented by a screw-in tremolo arm, a 4-bolt vintage-style truss rod plate, and vintage-style strap buttons.

The other hardware details also fit the authentic overall look. Fender vintage-style tuners and butterfly string trees are used. The guitar comes factory-strung with Fender USA 250L nickel-plated steel strings in .009-.042 gauge. The guitar is listed as made in Mexico. For those seeking a Stratocaster that combines authentic vintage character, inspiring sound, and clearly defined features, the Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Black electric guitar is a model that fits the description perfectly.
