Fender Vintera III Late '50s Telecaster SS (Butterscotch Blonde)
Experience the authentic vintage tone and feel of a classic 1950s Telecaster with the Vintera III Late '50s series. Carefully crafted to capture the iconic Fender sound, look, and playability, this guitar delivers legendary tone for players and collectors alike.
Alder or Ash Body
Classic Fender tonewoods are known for exceptional resonance and clarity. Alder delivers balanced tone with beefy mids and robust low-end, while ash provides enhanced punch and brightness with prominent grain patterns, offering versatile tonal options for diverse musical styles.
1-Piece Maple Neck with 7.25-Inch Radius Maple Fingerboard and 21 Vintage Tall Frets
Vintage-accurate construction is delivered by the 1-piece maple neck with 7.25-inch radius maple fingerboard, while vintage tall frets provide slightly more height than vintage for enhanced playability and classic comfort.
Late-'50s Soft V-Shaped Neck
Based on a late-'50s V profile that’s been slightly rounded, this Soft V neck has a distinctly comfortable fretting-hand feel.
Vintage-Style Late-'50s Pickups
Authentic period tone and clarity are delivered by the vintage-style late-'50s pickups, capturing the classic Telecaster bite and twang with warm, woody character and crisp attack that cuts through any mix.
Vintage-Style 3-Saddle Bridge with Steel Barrel Saddles
Featuring a classic 3-saddle bridge with rock-solid string-through-body design and three steel “barrel” saddles for authentic late-'50s Tele twang.
Vintage-Style Tuning Machines
These tuning machines offer the look and feel of vintage machines with a finer gear ratio and enhanced tuning stability.
1-Ply White Pickguard
Classic 1-ply white pickguard adds authentic vintage aesthetics while protecting the body finish from scratches.
Master Volume and Tone Controls with 3-Position Blade Switch
Provides versatile tonal options, allowing players to select bridge, neck, or both pickups for classic Tele sounds.
Includes Deluxe Gig Bag
Provides safe storage and easy transport, keeping the instrument protected whether on stage or on the move.
