The Korena take

Finished in 3-Color Sunburst, the Vintera III Late ’50s Stratocaster combines an alder body with a one-piece maple neck and maple fingerboard. Its three vintage-style late-’50s single-coil Strat pickups are managed through a five-position blade switch, master volume and two tone controls. The Late-’50s D profile, 7.25-inch fingerboard radius and 21-fret neck retain the model’s period-led format. A vintage-style six-saddle synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles provides pitch-shift control, supported by vintage-style tuning machines.
