Fender Vintera III Late '50s Telecaster SS with Maple Fingerboa...
The Vintera III Late ’50s Telecaster is a vintage-inspired electric guitar designed to capture the sound, feel, and style of Fender’s iconic late-1950s instruments. Built with an alder body and a one-piece maple neck and fingerboard, it delivers the classic Telecaster tone known for bright highs, tight lows, and clear articulation.
Featuring a late ’50s V-shaped neck profile and a 7.25-inch radius fingerboard with vintage-tall frets, this model provides a comfortable, authentic playing experience. Vintage-style late ’50s single-coil pickups recreate the cutting, dynamic tones that defined an era, while period-correct hardware and a 3-saddle vintage-style bridge ensure classic twang, sustain, and reliable tuning stability.
Finished in Dakota Red and paired with a deluxe gig bag, the Vintera III Late ’50s Telecaster is ideal for players seeking true vintage character with modern build consistency.
