Description
The Telecaster Thinline first debuted in July of 1968 & the semi-hollow design was created to produce light instruments from heavy ash. Reimagined in late '71 around a pair of Wide-Range humbuckers mounted to a reshaped curvy pearloid pickguard, the souped-up second-generation Thinline had its first full year of production in 1972. Notably, it was Fender's first six string with humbuckers & the first Tele with six adjustable bridge saddles. This gorgeous AVRI reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original.
