Description:
The Telecaster Thinline debuted in July 1968, and its "semi-hollow" design was chosen to create lightweight instruments using the least dense ash blocks available. Originally conceived as an "experiment," the Thinline model found considerable success, so much so that by 1971, it was still in the catalog and was updated with the addition of a pair of Wide Range pickups and a "pearloid" pickguard.
The American Vintage 1972 Telecaster Thinline reproduces this iconic model in its '71 version, which, however, saw its first full year of production only in 1972.
The neck features a comfortable '72 "C" profile, paired with a 7.25" radius fingerboard and Vintage Tall frets. The bridge is equipped with six steel saddles, while the tuning machines, in full '70s style, are of the "F"-stamped type, and the truss rod is the traditional "Bullet."
The American Vintage II Series showcases a selection of the most emblematic instruments in Fender's history, reproduced with exceptional accuracy in terms of technical, aesthetic, and tonal aspects. Compared to the American Original Series, this new and updated series offers instruments that are even more historically accurate, representing the closest approximation to Fender Custom Shop production ever offered in the Fender USA catalog.
