Fender | Vintera III Series
Bring Fender’s Icons of Yesteryear to the Modern Era with the Newest Vintage-Inspired Guitars & Basses!

The vast differences in these distinct eras are now being captured in the new Fender Vintera III Series! Featuring guitars and basses inspired by the iconic Fender instruments of the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s, each Vintera III entry captures the evolution of neck profiles, pickups, hardware, and feel!

Golden Tones to Match a Golden Era!
Vintera III is for the player who obsesses over the small stuff! To start, each Vintera III Series entry is loaded with the most accurate vintage-style series to ever come from Ensenada, down to the proper magnet wire and filter bobbins. Whereas the old Vintera II series offered pickups that got into each decade, the Vintera III pickups properly track the evolution within decades. This attention to the changes between early and late decades extends to neck profiles,
There are plenty of other elements that make Vintera III an upgrade over the guitars that came before, including bone nuts, a redeveloped series of custom colors that look more authentic, era-correct clay, pearloid, or black dot fingerboard inlays, and vintage-style hardware with era-correct details! The result is a series made for players who want a bit of magic in their rig!
The Ideal Era for Every Fender Lover!
Ranging from the late ‘50s to the early ‘70s, each Vintera III guitar or bass taps into a very specific time in Fender’s history!
