Fender Vintera III Mid ’60s Mustang: compact vintage-inspired charm
The Vintera III Mid ’60s Mustang combines a compact offset body, 24-inch scale and period-inspired single-coil sounds. It is a characterful Fender for players who enjoy a smaller fretting layout and the movement of a Mustang tremolo.
Short-scale feel
The 24-inch scale places the frets closer together than a 25.5-inch Fender. A Mid ’60s C neck and rounded rosewood fingerboard complete the period-inspired feel.
Mid-’60s pickups
Two vintage-style Mustang single coils provide the model’s bright voice, with individual pickup slide switches and master volume and tone.
Mustang movement
A vintage-style Mustang tremolo brings expressive movement to the compact offset format.
Introduced in April 2026
Vintera III focuses on specific eras within Fender history. The Mustang draws on mid-1960s design, with an alder body, round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, 7.25-inch radius and 22 vintage-tall frets.

Your questions answered
Where is it made?
The Vintera III Mustang is part of Fender’s Mexican-made range.
What does the shorter scale feel like?
It gives a compact fretting layout and typically a softer string feel than a longer scale at the same tuning and string gauge.
How does it fit into the Mustang range?
Vintera III offers a period-inspired interpretation. The American Performer takes a more modern approach with a flatter fingerboard radius, jumbo frets and three-way toggle switching.
