The alder body of the guitar is covered with a glossy polyester lacquer. The bolt-on maple neck with a "Modern C" profile is glued to a pau ferro fingerboard with a more modern 9.5" radius, fitted with twenty-one Medium Jumbo frets. Orientation around the fingerboard surface is facilitated by white position dots.
Two specially designed Hot '60s Tele single-coil pickups give the guitar an articulate sound with a distinctive Fender fretboard spiced with a higher output signal, allowing the instrument to find use in a wider range of musical genres. Standard controls in the form of a volume potentiometer, tone diaphragm and pickup switch are complemented by the S-1 switch, which when activated, changes the pickups to out-of-phase for a cool "throttled" lo-fi sound.
The strings are held in the company's tuning machines (Vintage-Style) via a faux bone fretboard and a solid cob with three chrome saddles with string attachment through the body. The stylish look of the instrument is accentuated by the logo on the headstock and a three-layer pickguard in Mint Green, which also protects the guitar's paintwork from scratches.
The guitar comes in a high quality gig bag.
The Vintera series replaces the well-known Fender Classic series. It offers electric guitars and basses made in Ensenada, Mexico, that take you back to the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s. The sound, the design, the equipment - all of it is subordinated to the fact that they are authentic period copies. If you're looking for an affordable Fender guitar or bass, then there's no question.
