The wait is over. Fender's all-new Vintera® III series has arrived at Tone Shop Guitars, and it's the most historically faithful, most comprehensive vintage recreation lineup Fender has ever assembled. Twelve meticulously researched models. Period-correct neck profiles, fingerboards, hardware, and pickups. The authentic look, feel, and sound of the '50s, '60s, and '70s — built for players who refuse to compromise.

From the thunderous "V" neck on the Late '50s Telecaster to the full Jaguar electronics suite to a stunning Limited Edition Late '50s Stratocaster finished in see-thru blonde with gold hardware, this lineup covers more sonic and aesthetic territory than any vintage reissue program before it. Here's every model — and why you need to get your hands on one before they're gone.

Stratocasters

Three Stratocasters spanning the late '50s through the late '60s — including a limited edition and one of the boldest color options in the entire Vintera III lineup.

Limited Edition Vintera® III Late '50s Stratocaster® Limited Edition

If there's one model in the entire Vintera III lineup that demands your immediate attention, it's this one. The Limited Edition Late '50s Stratocaster is built on a gorgeous ash body finished in White Blonde — a finish that lets the wood's natural grain breathe through in a way that's equal parts vintage-correct and visually spectacular. A 1-piece maple neck with authentic late '50s "D"-shaped profile and 7.25" radius fingerboard puts three vintage-style 1958 spec'd single-coil pickups at your fingertips, delivering the bright, singing tones that defined some of the most iconic recordings ever made. Premium gold hardware throughout elevates this into a different aesthetic category entirely, and the vintage-style synchronized tremolo closes out a spec sheet that reads like a museum piece. This is a limited run — if it speaks to you, don't wait.

Vintera® III Late '50s Stratocaster®

The same late '50s "D" neck, 1-piece maple fingerboard, and vintage-style late '50s spec'd single-coil pickups — this time wearing one of the most covetable finishes Fender has offered in years. Aztec Gold is warm, rich, and deeply vintage in character, and on this guitar it's stunning. Ash or alder body, 3-saddle bridge with steel barrel saddles, and a 1-ply white pickguard round out an exceptionally faithful late '50s spec. If the White Blonde LE is the show-stopper, Aztec Gold is the sleeper that people will be hunting for on the used market in ten years. Also available in Sherwood Green Metallic and Butterscotch Blonde.

Vintera® III Late '60s Stratocaster®

Pictured here in striking Ocean Turquoise, the Vintera III Late '60s Stratocaster is built around that period-correct large headstock — one of the most iconic visual signatures in all of guitar history. An alder body pairs with a rosewood fingerboard and three vintage-style late '60s single-coil pickups that deliver the dynamic, versatile voice that defined this era's recordings. The authentic late '60s "C"-shaped neck, 7.25" radius fingerboard, and vintage-tall frets make this one of the most comfortable players in the lineup. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo rounds it all out. Also available in 3-Color Sunburst and Olympic White.

Telecasters

Three Telecaster models spanning two decades of Fender's most celebrated era — including a Limited Edition Custom model that brings back one of the most sought-after vintage Tele specs ever produced.

Limited Edition Vintera® III Early '60s Custom Telecaster® Limited Edition

The Custom Telecaster is one of the most coveted vintage Fender variants of all time, and this limited edition captures it exactly right. In 3-Color Sunburst with a double-bound alder body and mint green 3-ply pickguard, it looks exactly like the guitars that were hanging on music store walls in 1963 — which is precisely the point. Vintage-style 1963 spec'd pickups, an early '60s "C"-shaped rosewood neck, and a 3-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles complete the picture. This is the only color it comes in. Don't miss it.

Vintera® III Late '50s Telecaster®

The first Vintera series Telecaster to feature a late '50s "V"-shaped neck profile, and it's a revelation. Here in Dakota Red — bold, unapologetic, and absolutely perfect on a Tele — this guitar brings the heat before you even plug it in. Built on an ash or alder body with a 1-piece maple neck and fingerboard, vintage-style late '50s spec'd pickups, a 3-saddle bridge with steel barrel saddles, and a clean 1-ply white pickguard. As close to the real thing as you'll find without paying five figures. Also available in Sherwood Green Metallic and Butterscotch Blonde.

Vintera® III Mid '60s Telecaster®

The mid '60s Telecaster moves into "C" neck territory and, in Firemist Gold, it might be the most visually stunning Tele in the entire Vintera III lineup. Rich, warm, and effortlessly sophisticated, Firemist Gold on an ash body with a rosewood fingerboard is a combination that rewards a long look. Vintage-style mid '60s spec'd single-coil pickups capture the precise twang of the era, while a 3-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles and parchment pickguard nail the period aesthetic. Also available in Vintage Blonde and 3-Color Sunburst.

Offsets: Jazzmaster, Jaguar & Mustang

The offset guitars in the Vintera III lineup represent some of Fender's most complex, most loved, and most misunderstood designs — and all three are absolutely nailed here. Each features a mid '60s "C"-shaped neck, 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard, alder body, and vintage-style pickups tailored to its specific model identity.

Vintera® III Mid '60s Jazzmaster®

In Candy Apple Red, this Jazzmaster looks as bold as it sounds. Two vintage-style mid '60s Jazzmaster pickups deliver the bright, jangly top-end and warm, woody midrange that made this model the sonic backbone of indie, shoegaze, surf, and alternative music for decades. The vintage-style floating tremolo, 3-position toggle for the lead circuit, rhythm circuit switch, and 25.5" scale length are all here — fully period correct. Also available in Olympic White and Sonic Blue.

Vintera® III Mid '60s Jaguar®

The Jaguar is the most electronically complex guitar Fender has ever produced, and the Vintera III version gets every detail right. Shown here in Sherwood Green Metallic — a finish that looks absolutely right on a Jaguar — this guitar packs full mid '60s Jaguar electronics: vintage-style single-coil pickups, a floating tremolo with tremolo lock, the bass-cut "strangle" circuit, a rhythm circuit with thumbwheel volume and tone controls, and a Jaguar mute. All on a 24" short-scale body that makes this one of the most playable guitars in the lineup. Also available in 3-Color Sunburst and Shell Pink.

Vintera® III Mid '60s Mustang®

Don't underestimate the Mustang. Here in Sonic Blue — easily one of the best color-to-body combinations in the entire Vintera III lineup — this 24" short-scale guitar packs a pair of vintage-style mid '60s single-coil pickups, individual on/off slide switches per pickup, and the beloved Mustang floating tremolo. Light, fast, endlessly inspiring, and genuinely versatile. Also available in Olympic White and Dakota Red, but Sonic Blue is the one to get.

The Bass VI: Its Own Thing

The Bass VI doesn't fit neatly into the guitar section or the bass section — it never has, and that's exactly why it's so interesting. Tuned an octave below a standard guitar on a 30" scale, it sits in sonic territory that no guitar or bass alone can occupy. And the Vintera III Early '60s Bass VI is the most period-correct production version of this instrument available anywhere today.

Shown here in classic 3-Color Sunburst with a tortoiseshell pickguard, the Bass VI features three vintage-style early '60s single-coil pickups with individual on/off switches, giving you an enormous range of tonal combinations across neck, middle, bridge, and everything in between. A floating tremolo tailpiece with Bass VI mute, an alder body with maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, and the full early '60s hardware suite round out a spec sheet that tone nerds and studio players have been waiting years for. Whether you're chasing baritone texture, post-punk atmosphere, or something entirely your own, the Bass VI is an instrument unlike anything else in the room. Also available in Olympic White and Candy Apple Red.

The Bass Lineup

Three basses covering three decades of Fender low-end history. Period-correct Precision Bass and Jazz Bass specs that are nearly impossible to find at this price point — and all three are wearing colors that justify the attention.

Vintera® III Early '60s Jazz Bass®

The earliest Jazz Bass configuration gets recreated in stunning detail — and in Aztec Gold, it's the most visually arresting bass in the entire lineup. The early '60s spec includes a slab rosewood fingerboard, vintage-style reverse tuning machines, and stacked concentric volume/tone knobs that are all period-correct and often missing from lesser reissues. Two vintage-style early '60s single-coil pickups on a 34" scale deliver classic Jazz Bass punch and articulation. Aztec Gold is a new colorway for this series and a natural wall-stopper — but it's also available in Olympic White and Sonic Blue.

Vintera® III Early '70s Jazz Bass®

Block inlays, neck binding, and open-back tuning machines define the early '70s Jazz Bass look — and this one wearing Candy Apple Red with a rosewood fingerboard is hard to walk past. The pair of vintage-style early '70s single-coil pickups nail the punchy, articulate character that made the '70s Jazz Bass the go-to instrument for session players across every genre. Also available in Black (rosewood) and 3-Color Sunburst (maple).

Vintera® III Late '60s Precision Bass®

The late '60s Precision Bass is defined by one unmistakable visual detail: the "lollipop" non-reverse tuning machines, reproduced here in period-correct vintage-style form. In Firemist Gold with a rosewood fingerboard and parchment pickguard, this is a deeply elegant bass — one that looks as good unplugged on a stand as it sounds through an amp. The vintage-style late '60s split-coil pickup delivers all the punchy warmth and woody authority that made the Precision Bass the foundation of recorded music for decades. Also available in Black (rosewood), 3-Color Sunburst (maple), and Lake Placid Blue (maple).
