Every Telecaster tells a story of simplicity, innovation, and unmistakable tone, and the Vintera III Mid ’60s Telecaster carries that legacy with vintage accuracy and modern reliability. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this model captures the essence of a pivotal era when Fender refined its designs and solidified its place in music history.
Finished in striking Firemist Gold, this Tele pairs a resonant alder body with a maple neck and round-laminated rosewood fingerboard for a balanced, articulate voice with warmth and clarity. The mid ’60s “C” neck profile feels instantly comfortable in hand, while the vintage-correct 7.25" radius and vintage tall frets provide a smooth, classic playing experience. At its core, a set of vintage-style mid ’60s single-coil pickups delivers the signature Tele sound — crisp, cutting bridge tones and warm, rounded neck tones that excel across country, rock, blues, and beyond.
Authentic appointments like the 3-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles and vintage-style tuning machines complete the experience, offering both classic feel and reliable performance. With its timeless tone, eye-catching finish, and period-correct design, this Telecaster is a perfect choice for players seeking true vintage character with everyday playability. Gig bag included.
