Every great Stratocaster begins with a sound that changed music forever, and the Vintera III Late ’50s Stratocaster carries that legacy forward with unmistakable vintage character. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this model captures the essence of Fender’s late-1950s golden era — delivering the tone, feel, and aesthetic that defined generations of players.

Finished in a bold Dakota Red, this Strat pairs a resonant alder body with a one-piece maple neck for a lively, articulate response that shines in any musical setting. The late ’50s “D”-shaped neck profile and vintage-correct 7.25" radius create a comfortable, familiar playing experience, while vintage tall frets provide smooth playability for chords and expressive lead work. At its core, a trio of vintage-style late ’50s single-coil pickups delivers the signature Strat voice — glassy highs, punchy mids, and dynamic clarity that responds beautifully to your touch.

From the vintage-style synchronized tremolo to the period-correct tuning machines, every detail is designed to transport you back to a time when innovation and tone reigned supreme. Whether you’re chasing classic blues, surf, rock, or country tones, this Strat offers timeless versatility with authentic feel — making it a standout addition to any player’s collection. Gig bag included.
