Fender American Vintage II Thinline Telecaster *Refin Black (2022)

The Fender American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.

Dating accurately to 2022, this one has seen overall low play time - but has been professionally refinished in a nice black nitrocellulose lacquer. The Telecaster Thinline first debuted in July of 1968 and the semi-hollow design was created to produce light instruments from heavy ash. Reimagined in late '71 around a pair of Wide-Range humbucking pickups mounted to a reshaped curvy pearloid pickguard, the souped-up second-generation Telecaster Thinline had its first full year of production in 1972. Notably, it was Fender's first six string with humbucking pickups and the first Tele with six adjustable bridge saddles. The American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster® Thinline reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original.

It plays great with factory spec low action. It has a medium-thin C shape hard rock maple neck with a 7.25" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Original CuNiFe magnets, ado a great job recreating the sonics of the originals. Convenient "Bullet" style truss rod nut, three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt™ mechanism, "F" stamped tuners, 6-saddle string-through body hardtail with bent steel saddles

Includes original hardshell case, and Fender case candy pouch.
