Description
The Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Rosewood in Sonic Blue captures that unmistakable early '60s Strat sound with a finish that feels straight out of the golden era. Sonic Blue has long been associated with classic Fender style, and paired with the rosewood board and mint green pickguard, it delivers a look that feels both vintage and stage-ready.
The alder body provides a balanced, punchy platform, and the maple neck carved into an Early '60s C profile feels natural and comfortable in your hand. The 7.25 inch radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard with 21 vintage tall frets offers that traditional curvature many players love for chord work and expressive leads. Three Vintage-Style Early '60s single-coil Strat pickups give you the bright, chimey top end and dynamic response that made this era so important in Fender history. The 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles keeps everything feeling authentic while remaining reliable under regular use.
Vintage-style tuning machines, a bone nut, and period-correct hardware details complete the package. The 25.5 inch scale length delivers that classic Strat snap, and the 1.650 inch nut width keeps the neck comfortable for a wide range of players. We like this one because it checks every early '60s box while still being a practical, dependable instrument for real-world playing. It includes a deluxe gig bag for protection and easy transport.
