Carved from a solid slab of alder, this Tele typifies the model’s reputation as a tried-and-tested workhorse. You’ll find the period-correct playability of this Tele’s authentic Mid ’60s C-shaped neck eminently gratifying, and its old-school 7.25-inch-radius fingerboard, crowned with vintage-tall frets, is just as satisfying. Tone-wise, this solidbody electric guitar is on par with real-world vintage specimens, by virtue of its custom-spec’d vintage-style single-coil Tele pickups, which are brimming with the tone-packed punch and crystal-clear articulation you’d expect from a mid-1960s Telecaster. You also get a premium assortment of period-accurate hardware, comprising Fender’s twang-marinated 3-saddle bridge and matching vintage-style tuning machines. A 3-ply parchment pickguard, a top-hat-style switch tip, knurled flat-top control knobs, and an era-correct headstock logo round out this superb retro-style Telecaster.

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\u003eMid-’60s playing comfort, refined to perfection\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the mid-1960s, 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 Mid ’60s Telecaster reflects these design elements, showcasing a body carved from a premium chunk of solid alder. Moreover, this Tele boasts an eminently comfortable Mid ’60s C-shaped neck, which starts off slim at the nut and thickens moderately 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 Mid ’60s Tele features a vintage-style 3-saddle bridge with threaded 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\u003eVintage twang starts here\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusic Experience’s guitar aficionados consider mid-’60s Teles to be among the most sought-after models in Fender history, thanks at least in part to their captivating alnico-fueled sound.
