The Limited Edition Vintera® III Early '60s Custom Telecaster® features a double-bound alder body, paired with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard to deliver that unmistakable Fender sound brimming with punch and crystal-clear articulation.

At its heart, two meticulously crafted vintage-style 1963 spec'd pickups capture the bright, cutting tones that established Fender's reputation during this pivotal era. The vintage-style 3-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles offers authentic '60s twang, while period-correct vintage-style tuning machines deliver authentic looks with superior tuning precision.

Embrace the authentic vintage spirit and legendary sound of Vintera® III – where every detail tells the story.

Double-Bound Alder Body
A classic Fender tonewood known for resonance, punch and clarity, alder has a balanced and lively tone with beefy mids and a robust low-end, while the elegant double binding adds sophisticated visual appeal and premium appointments to complement the instrument's classic aesthetics.

Maple Neck with 7.25" Radius Round-Laminate Rosewood Fingerboard and Vintage Tall Frets
The round-laminate rosewood fingerboard adds sonic warmth and the 7.25” radius fingerboard provides vintage comfort and feel, while vintage-tall frets provide slightly more height than vintage for big bends and wide vibrato.

Early- ‘60s “C” Shaped Neck
The early-'60s "C" shape provides authentic vintage feel with comfortable, balanced profile for optimal playability and classic Telecaster performance.

Vintage Style 1963 Pickups
There’s really nothing like the timeless singing, snapping, screaming and sparkling sound of Fender single-coil pickups. These 1963 spec pickups are full of the crystal-clear chime and raw, steely twang that made Fender instruments famous.

Vintage-Style 3-Saddle Bridge with Threaded Steel Saddles
This Vintera® III Telecaster® features a classic 3-saddle bridge with rock-solid string-through-body design and three threaded steel saddles for authentic ‘60s Tele® twang.

Vintage-Style Tuning Machines
These tuning machines offer the look and feel of vintage machines with a finer gear ratio and enhanced tuning stability.
