Purchased in upstate NY 30 years ago while driving back from a Grateful Dead show in Buffalo NY. Rumor has it that this was traded from the group at the shop near the show!
It is aged although barely played.
Fender original molded case included.
This is an original American made Vintage f-hole Semi-Hollow Telecaster Thinline.
Fender Wide Range Humbucking Pick ups
I am selling this guitar now to be enjoyed by the next guitar enthusiast since it has just been sitting the case for 30 years! Hopefully a young virtuoso or a young at heart collector will find them selves owning a piece of American music history!
I did have a highly rated experienced local guitar shop in downtown NYC in the business of vintage guitars for over 50 years review this guitar and give its blessings as an exquisite example of this Fender model range.
Thank you all for your interest in this treasure! I am even more satisfied than actually selling it, with the amount of views where people are imaging themselves owning this amazing guitar by simply just viewing the post.
A guitar like this is a gift and to be admired by all!
Peace and love to All!
Shine your Light Bright and Strong!
The Fender Telecaster Thinline is a semi-hollow guitar made by the Fender company. It is a Telecaster with body cavities. Designed by German luthier Roger Rossmeisl in 1968, it was introduced in 1969 and updated in 1972 by replacing the standard Telecaster pickups with a pair of Fender Wide Range humbucking pickups, bullet truss-rod and 3-bolt neck.
The design was originally an attempt to reduce the weight of the solid-body Telecaster guitar, which had become ever heavier throughout the 1960s due to the dwindling supply of the light ash wood Fender had formerly used. The f-hole and reshaped pickguard are the most apparent visual clues to its construction.
