2026 Fender Vintera III Late '50s Stratocaster Maple Fingerboard Dakota Red

This 2026 Fender Vintera III Late '50s Stratocaster in Dakota Red captures the timeless style, sound, and feel of a late-1950s Stratocaster. Featuring a solid alder body with a gloss polyester finish, this guitar pairs classic Fender aesthetics with vintage-inspired appointments. The one-piece maple neck features a substantial late '50s D profile, a traditional 7.25" fingerboard radius, and 21 vintage tall frets for an authentic playing experience. Three vintage-style late '50s single-coil Stratocaster pickups deliver the sparkling highs, articulate midrange, and dynamic response that helped define the Stratocaster sound. A six-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles, Fender vintage-style tuners, and a single-ply white pickguard complete the period-correct appearance. Finished in striking Dakota Red, this Vintera III offers classic Fender character with exceptional playability.
