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\u003eLate-’50s playing comfort, refined to perfection\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the mid and late 1950s, Fender remained true to the classic Tele formula: a heavyweight ash or alder body joined to a hand-filling maple neck and bolstered by what’s arguably the era’s most bulletproof hardware. The Fender Vintera III Late ’50s Telecaster reflects these design elements, showcasing a body carved from a premium slab of solid alder. Moreover, this Tele boasts an eminently comfortable Late ’50s V-shaped neck, which starts off chunky at the nut and thickens slightly as you approach the 12th fret. You also get a vintage-style 7.25-inch-radius fingerboard, crowned with vintage-tall frets that allow for enthusiastic string bending without fretting out. Lastly, the Vintera III Late ’50s Tele features a vintage-style 3-saddle bridge with barrel steel saddles — a significant contributor to the fabled Tele twang — and matching tuning machines, offering authentic aesthetics and superior tuning precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePlug into the sound that started it all\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusic Experience’s guitar aficionados consider late-’50s Teles to be among the most sought-after models in Fender history, thanks at least in part to their captivating alnico-fueled sound.

No matter what you plug it into, this stellar solidbody electric guitar captures the classic Tele bite and twang, tempered with warm, woody character and bolstered by a crisp attack that cuts through any mix.
