Fender's American Vintage '69 Telecaster Thinline guitar authentically captures one of the most experimental evolutionary steps in the long and colorful history of the Telecaster. In 1969, the hollowed-out and lightweight Thinline was the first of three major Telecaster design revisions of the late-'60s/early-'70s era, and players prized it for its own distinctive tone.

Stringed with Ernie Ball hybrid Slinky strings

Light ware, a couple of pictured paint defects and light buckle rash. The mark on the scratch plate is from the original sticker being left on for 10 years.
