Fender Vintera III Late '50s Stratocaster Maple Dakota Red w/bag

The Fender Vintera III Late '50s Stratocaster Maple in Dakota Red is designed to capture the sound, feel, and character of Fender’s late-1950s instruments. Built with an alder body and a one-piece maple neck and fingerboard, it delivers a clear, punchy response with strong articulation and dynamic range.

The late ‘50s “D”-shaped neck profile and 7.25” radius fingerboard provide a distinctly vintage playing experience, while three vintage-style single-coil pickups offer bright, expressive tones with plenty of clarity. A vintage-style synchronized tremolo and period-correct hardware round out a design focused on authenticity and reliable performance.
