Here’s a really good-lookingFender Vintera III Late ’50s Telecaster in Sherwood Green Metallic. This one leans pretty heavily into the late ’50s Fender vibe, with the vintage-style specs and hardware giving it that old-school Tele feel without having to hunt down an actual vintage one.
TheLate ’50s V-shaped maple neck has a 7.25" radius and vintage-tall frets. It has a little more shape to it than a modern Fender neck, but it’s still a really comfortable profile once you get used to it. The alder body keeps the guitar pretty lively and resonant, too.
For pickups, you get a pair of vintage-style late-’50s Tele single-coils with the classic Tele thing — plenty of snap and twang, but still enough body to sound good through a pushed amp. The 3-saddle bridge with barrel steel saddles and vintage-style tuners round out the old-school setup.
And honestly, the Sherwood Green Metalliclooks killer on these. Between that, the 1-ply guard, vintage-style logo, and late-’50s appointments, it has a lot of personality without being some over-the-top relic.
