Overview
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.
The American Vintage '69 Telecaster Thinline features period correct late-'60s details such as a "top hat" pickup switch tip and vintage-style "F" tuners. Other features include a semi-hollow mahogany body with f hole and gloss lacquer finish; C-shape maple neck with gloss lacquer finish, standard four-bolt neck plate and vintage-style truss rod system; maple fingerboard with 7.25" radius and 21 vintage-style frets; American Vintage Telecaster single-coil neck and bridge pickups with three-position switching; four-ply white pearloid pickguard; vintage-style three-saddle strings-through-body Telecaster bridge; knurled chrome knobs and chrome hardware. Accessories include black Tolex case, polish cloth, 8' cable, strap, bridge cover and six-saddle replacement bridge. Available in Olympic White and Two-color Sunburst.
