"I would prefer to see Fender tweak the pickups rather than the aesthetic": Fender Vintera III Mid '60s Telecaster review

Fender Vintera III Mid '60s Telecaster.

What is it?

Some say that we, as guitarists, spend too much time looking backwards, but to me, it makes sense that we spend a lot of our time investigating tones from decades gone by. Not that there isn’t a place for modern innovations, of course, but a lot of what makes the electric guitar what it is originated throughout the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s. These tones are the basis of a lot of modern guitar sounds, so it makes sense that the gear from that era is still relevant.
