Fender Vintera III Late '60s Stratocaster Ocean Turquoise

The Fender Vintera III Late '60s Stratocaster captures the bold look and unmistakable tone of Fender’s late-’60s Strat era. As part of the Vintera III lineup, this model faithfully recreates the feel and sound of a transitional moment in Fender history—complete with the iconic large headstock and vintage-correct styling that defined the Stratocasters of the late 1960s.

Built with an alder body and a maple neck topped with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, this Strat delivers the clear, punchy resonance and articulate response players expect from a classic Fender. The Late ’60s “C” neck profile sits comfortably in the hand, offering a familiar vintage feel that makes both rhythm playing and lead work feel natural. A 7.25" fingerboard radius paired with vintage tall frets preserves the traditional playing experience while allowing smooth bends and expressive phrasing.

Three vintage-style late ’60s Strat single-coil pickups deliver the bright, dynamic tones that helped shape countless recordings. From shimmering cleans to biting leads, the pickup set offers the versatility and clarity that made the Stratocaster one of the most recorded guitars in history. A vintage-style synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles provides expressive vibrato, while period-correct “F”-stamped tuners and classic appointments complete the unmistakable late-’60s Strat look.

For players who love the oversized headstock era and the unmistakable Strat sound that came with it, the Vintera III Late ’60s Stratocaster delivers authentic Fender style and tone with modern reliability.
