Original American Vintage '72 Telecaster Thinline. Mint condition, barely used.

Fender's American Vintage '72 Telecaster Thinline guitar authentically evokes a historic member of the Telecaster family. Period-correct early-'70s details include a three-bolt neck plate with Micro-TiltTM adjustment, bullet truss rod nut and vintage-style "F" tuners; with touches including Fender Wide Range humbucking neck and bridge pickups redesigned and re-voiced to sound even more like 1970s pickups.

Fender American Vintage '72 Telecaster Thinline features include a semi-hollow ash body with f hole and gloss lacquer finish, C-shaped maple neck with gloss lacquer finish, maple fingerboard with 7.25" radius and 21 vintage-style frets, three-position switch with "barrel" tip, four-ply white pearloid pickguard, vintage-style Stratocaster strings-through-body hardtail bridge, knurled chrome knobs and chrome hardware. Accessories include black Tolex case, polish cloth, 8' cable, strap and bridge cover. Available in Natural and Candy Apple Red.

[Tig]

As usual, it needs Telenator's CuNiFe pickups.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

I like the wood-tone, but not for me at that price.

 

[Stratguy]

Love it, but I'm not sure I'd lay down about triple what I can get a mint, used '72 reissue for. There would have to be a substantial difference in sound, for me.

 

[BlackCat]

Seems a might pricy.

 

[CBHScott]

Pricey and I'm not a fan of the WR humbuckers.

[wagdog]

Love the guitar. Would not pay that price for it.

 

[LittleSnakes]

Love the guitar. Not so sure about the price

 

[Guitar Heel]

Beautiful guitar. So glad that I can't stand skinny necks any more. Saves me a ton of cash in Fenders...

 

[IamSeaDevil]

I really like it at about $999

 

[Elias Graves]

It's ok.

 

[jaxn slim]

It's ok. And overpriced by at least a few hundred dollars.

 

[Coralkong]

It's Ok. And overpriced by at least a few hundred dollars.


Wait......is there an echo in here?

 

[Flatspotter]

I like it, but in CAR, please. I've never played a guitar with the wide-range buckers, though.

 

[altoidman]

I've liked that model since it came out.
