Fender American Original '60s Telecaster Thinline Electric Guitar, Maple Fingerboard (with Case)
Fit for any style of music, the American Original '60s Telecaster Thinline can produce a wide variety of tones thanks to its Tim Shaw-designed pickups.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Tim Shaw Designed Pickups Voiced from a vintage thinline Telecaster
Mid '60s Oval "C" Comfortable with chunky, wide shoulders
Nitrocellulose lacquer finish Ultra-thin, strong gloss; preserves natural tone
Ash body Strong, snappy responsive tone

Beloved by country players and indie rockers alike for its semi-hollow warmth, rounder twang and elegant appearance, the Telecaster Thinline is a classic in its own right within the venerable Telecaster lineup. The American Original 60s Telecaster Thinline recreates this sophisticated six-string with tastefully modernized playability.


Check out Fender's demo of the American Original '60s Telecaster Thinline:


Tim Shaw designed 60s Telecaster Thinline pickups deliver authentic late sixties Tele tones, while the 21 Vintage Tall frets and a 9.5" radius contribute to comfortable playability. Other touches include original-era body radii, vintage-style hardware - including F logo tuners, vintage-style hardshell case and a lacquer finish that lets the wood breathe naturally with resonant tone, and wears in a distinctively appealing way.

I have an Ultra Strat in Cobra Blue, an Ultra Jazz Bass in Texas Tea, a Les Paul Standard Gold Top and other guitars. This has the most beautiful finish (Sunburst). Way better than the picture or videos. The tone is amazing. Light weight at 6.2 pounds. Officially my favorite guitar. Add to that they shipped it to me in 25 hours after promising 5 days. Ordered Monday noon and here it is. They had it in a warehouse near Reno and I got it next day. zZounds you ROCK.
