2021 Fender Limited F-Hole Telecaster Thinline Arctic Pearl, Japan MIJ

Up for sale, a 2021 Fender Limited F-Hole Telecaster Thinline in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This playful Tele Thinline, released by Fender Japan in limited quantities to celebrate Fender’s 75th Anniversary, replaces a standard F-hole shape with the "F" from Fender's circa 1950s logo, boasting a gloss Arctic Pearl finish on the contoured ash body.

Lightweight at 6lbs 4oz, this Tele Thinline has plenty of natural resonance on tap thanks to the semi-hollow body. The pair of single coil pickups deliver quintessential Tele tonalities: the bridge is cutting and spanky, and the neck has a smooth, woody cut. This Limited F-Hole Telecaster Thinline benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
