Fender Vintera III Late '50s Telecaster Butterscotch Blonde

The Fender Vintera III Late '50s Telecaster channels the unmistakable character of Fender’s earliest solidbody designs, delivering the twang, snap, and timeless style that helped define electric guitar in the late 1950s. Part of the Vintera III lineup, this model faithfully recreates the look, feel, and sound of the era with period-correct construction and classic Fender tone.

An ash body paired with a one-piece maple neck provides the lively attack and crystalline articulation Telecasters are known for. The authentic late ’50s “V”-shaped neck profile offers a substantial yet comfortable feel in the hands, while the vintage-correct 7.25" radius maple fingerboard with vintage-tall frets delivers smooth playability that stays true to the period. From rhythm work to biting leads, this neck profile captures the playing experience that shaped countless classic recordings.

Two vintage-style late ’50s Telecaster single-coil pickups deliver the bright, cutting voice that made the Telecaster famous. The bridge pickup brings unmistakable bite and twang, while the neck pickup adds warmth and clarity for rounder tones. A vintage-style three-saddle Tele bridge with steel barrel saddles enhances that classic snap and sustain, completing a design that feels as authentic as it sounds.
