Fender Vintera III Late '50s Stratocaster Dakota Red

Fender Vintera III Late '50s Stratocaster Dakota Red - An iconic electric guitar in Stratocaster® form, faithfully capturing the aesthetics, feel, and sound of Fender's golden era from the late '50s. The alder body and one-piece maple neck provide that classic Fender tone – bright, clear, and full of character.

The authentic Late '50s "D" neck profile ensures a natural and comfortable playing experience, while the 7.25” radius maple fingerboard and Vintage Tall frets maintain the traditional feel. The three Vintage-Style Late '50s Strat® single-coil pickups deliver articulate, dynamic, and expressive tones, defining for blues, classic rock, and surf.

The vintage-style synchronized tremolo system allows for smooth pitch variations, while the Fender® Vintage-Style tuning machines ensure stability and an authentic look. The Dakota Red finish completes the retro look, and a Deluxe Gig Bag is included.
