These historic guitars and basses spotlight pivotal eras of Fender production, from the gold-tinged Strats of the late 1950s to the block-bound Jazz Basses of the early 1970s. Each model is crafted with era-accurate pickups, a vintage-spec neck, and traditional Fender hardware — in essence, these are Leo Fender and company’s groundbreaking creations realized exactly as they were first envisioned decades ago. Rest assured that when you pick up a Vintera III instrument, you’re playing the guitars and basses that shaped music history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eEarly-’60s playing comfort, refined to perfection\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the early 1960s, Fender introduced rosewood fingerboards, providing discerning players with an entirely new playing feel. Also, the early ’60s saw the debut of 3-ply mint green pickguards, which contributed to the model’s growing aesthetic appeal. The Fender Vintera III Early ’60s Stratocaster reflects these design elements, showcasing a contoured alder body that fits like the proverbial glove. Moreover, this Strat boasts a comfortably rounded Early ’60s C-shaped neck, which starts off slim at the nut and thickens slightly as you approach the 12th fret. You also get a vintage-style 7.25-inch-radius, round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, crowned with vintage-tall frets that allow for enthusiastic string bending without fretting out. Lastly, the Vintera III Early ’60s Strat features a vintage-style synchronized tremolo with bent-steel saddles and matching tuning machines, offering authentic aesthetics and superior tuning precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePure Strat chime and articulation\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusic Experience’s guitar aficionados consider early-’60s Strats to be among the most sought-after models in Fender history, thanks at least in part to their ear-grabbing alnico-fueled sound.
