Description
The Fender Vintera III Late '50s Telecaster Maple in Dakota Red takes a traditional late '50s Tele formula and gives it a bold custom color finish. Dakota Red has that classic Fender attitude, especially when paired with a maple board and white guard. If you want vintage Tele tone but prefer something that stands out on stage, this one makes a strong case.
The alder or ash body provides a lively, articulate foundation, matched with a 1-piece maple neck carved into a Late '50s V profile. That V carve gives you a slightly fuller feel in the palm, especially in the lower positions. The 7.25 inch radius maple fingerboard and 21 vintage tall frets keep the feel authentic and traditional. The two Vintage-Style Late '50s single-coil Tele pickups deliver bright, cutting bridge tones and warm, rounded neck sounds that respond well to picking dynamics. The 3-saddle vintage-style Tele bridge with barrel steel saddles brings the classic '50s twang and snap.
Vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, and knurled flat-top knobs keep the details in line with the era. The 25.5 inch scale length provides that familiar Fender tension and clarity, and the simple Master Volume and Master Tone controls keep everything direct and easy to dial in. We like this one because it keeps the late '50s Tele feel intact while adding a little extra visual personality. A deluxe gig bag is included.
