A limited-edition tribute to an era-defining instrument.
The late 1950s were a pivotal era for the Stratocaster—marking the moment when Fender’s now-ubiquitous double-cutaway transitioned from instrument to icon. This limited-edition Fender Vintera III Late ’50s Stratocaster honors that legacy with a striking ash-bodied interpretation that blends period-correct construction with elevated visual detail. The ash body, finished in vintage-inspired see-thru White Blonde, highlights the wood’s natural grain while adding clarity and snap to the Strat’s signature sound. A one-piece maple neck and vintage-style 1958-spec single-coils deliver bright, articulate tones, while gold hardware lends a refined, standout aesthetic. The result? A faithful recreation of the Strat at the point it became a guitar standard—reimagined in a distinctive limited-edition form.
Ash Body and Limited-Edition Blonde Finish
This limited-edition Strat’s ash body delivers a slightly brighter, more articulate response, with enhanced top-end clarity and a tight, defined low end. Known for its pronounced grain, ash provides both tonal focus and visual depth. The translucent blonde finish highlights that natural grain, giving each instrument a unique character while reinforcing its period-correct aesthetic. Paired with the Stratocaster’s classic contours and double-cut silhouette, the result is a platform that feels as balanced and responsive as it looks refined.
Vintage-Style 1958 Pickups for Bright, Singing Strat Tone
A trio of vintage-style 1958-spec single-coil pickups delivers the unmistakable Strat voice—bright, clear and expressive. These pickups emphasize articulation and high-end sparkle while maintaining enough body to keep notes full and present. The result is a tone that responds dynamically to picking intensity and volume adjustments, making it equally effective for clean, chimey textures and more driven sounds. Classic five-way switching expands tonal options across the full Strat tonal range.
One-Piece Maple Neck and Vintage Radius for Authentic Feel and Classic Snap
A one-piece maple neck contributes to the Strat’s signature attack and articulation, adding snap and immediacy to each note. The late-’50s D-shaped profile offers a comfortable, substantial feel that supports both chord work and lead playing. A 7.25” radius fingerboard recreates the curvature of the era, delivering a traditional playing experience with a slightly rounder feel. Paired with vintage-tall frets, this setup balances classic feel with modern playability.
Gold Hardware and Vintage Appointments for Refined Style and Stability
Gold-finished hardware elevates this limited-edition model with a refined aesthetic while maintaining classic Fender functionality. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo system allows smooth pitch shifts, and bent steel saddles contribute to the Strat’s characteristic brightness and snap. Vintage-style tuning machines provide reliable tuning, while a bone nut enhances resonance and tuning consistency.
A Limited-Edition Tribute to a Classic Strat
This limited-edition Fender Vintera III Late ’50s Strat offers a distinctive take on a legendary design, combining period-correct construction with elevated visual detail. Its ash body, see-thru White Blonde finish and gold hardware create a refined interpretation of a classic, while vintage-style 1958 single-coil pickups deliver the bright, articulate voice that defined the era.
