Fender Vintera III Early '60s Stratocaster Sonic Blue - A classic electric guitar in Stratocaster® form, faithfully recreating the look, feel, and sound that defined the early '60s. The alder body, combined with the maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, delivers that unmistakable Fender sound: clear, balanced, and punchy.
The authentic Early '60s "C" neck profile provides a familiar and comfortable feel in the hand, while the 7.25" fingerboard radius, along with the Vintage Tall frets, ensures an authentic vintage feel and an extremely enjoyable playing experience. The three Vintage-Style Early '60s Strat® single-coil pickups deliver bright, "chimey" and articulate tones — the sound that established Fender during this legendary period.
The vintage-style synchronized tremolo system allows for smooth pitch variations, and the Fender® Vintage-Style tuning mechanisms complete the period aesthetic, providing excellent tuning stability. The Sonic Blue finish, along with the Mint Green pickguard, perfectly highlights the early '60s vibe. The guitar is delivered with a Deluxe Gig Bag included.
