This solidbody electric guitar’s slab alder body is just a touch smaller than your average Strat or Tele, while the short 24-inch scale length allows for slinky bends up and down the 7.25-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard’s vintage-tall frets. Next, the Mid ’60s C maple neck re-creates the slim, speedy feel of Fender’s golden-era Mustangs. In tonal terms, two Mid ’60s Mustang single-coil pickups dish out a bright, biting, and percussive punch, while the old-school 3-way slider switches enable funky out-of-phase tones in the middle position. You also get a classic Mustang floating tremolo and vintage-spec tuners, enabling wild pitch-bending flourishes with superb tuning stability. Finished in a variety of 1960s-style colors, the Fender Vintera III Mid ’60s Mustang expands your 6-string arsenal with unabashedly old-school tone, trim, and performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFender Vintera III Mid '60s Mustang at a Glance:\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"feature-bullets-list\" id=\"first-instance-shown-feature-bullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlder Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaple neck with 7.25\" Radius Round-Laminated Rosewood Fingerboard and Vintage Tall Frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid '60s \"C\"-Shaped Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid '60s Pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage-Style Mustang® Floating Tremolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage-Style Tuning Machines with Vintage White Buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra-Correct Details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eVintera III: own a piece of Fullerton history\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vintera III lineup takes you back to Fender’s formative age of guitar innovation, reviving the brand’s most beloved instruments with component-level vintage accuracy. 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\u003eEra-inspired pickups and switching\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally intended as Fender’s “student model,” the Fender Mustang was wholeheartedly adopted by indie rockers, grunge icons, and shoegazers decades after it first debuted in 1964. Why? The Mustang boasts a singular sound distinct from any other Fender 6-string. As for this Vintera III Mustang, Music Experience guitarists confirm that its Mid-’60s single-coil pickups dish out vintage-voiced cut, jangle, and chime, reviving the very sound that the model would have debuted with. Quacky out-of-phase switching options seal the deal, rounding out your tonal toolbox with a uniquely funky and percussive twist on classic Fender tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eEasy-playing Mid ’60s C neck\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFender’s Vintera III lineup is all about providing you with the tone, feel, and sound of an original golden-era classic, and nowhere is that mission more evident than in this Mustang’s neck profile. A premium shaft of maple in a Mid ’60s C profile starts with a slim feel at the nut and then subtly widens out toward the 12th fret. Next, a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard sports a traditional 7.25-inch radius for comfortable chording, while the vintage tall frets strike a balance between period-correct precision and modern playability. Finished off with a short 24-inch scale length, this Mustang takes you back to the model’s 1960s heyday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Fender Says...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Fender® Vintera III series delivers meticulously crafted vintage recreations that capture the authentic look, feel, and tone of iconic Fender guitars from the '50s, '60s, and '70s.
