What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Alder body Light weight with a wide tonal range
Maple neck Bright tone, full sustain and strength
Rosewood fretboard Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel
Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups Stacked single-coil pickups; vintage output

Light in weight, but not sound, the Deluxe Telecaster Thinline is crafted with timelessly elegant style and authentic Fender tone. Crisp and articulate, with a versatile voice that cuts through a busy mix, this stage-tested design is the ideal combination of modern features and traditional aesthetics. With a little bit of extra 'magic' up its sleeve, this instrument is as flexible as it is distinctly stylish.

VINTAGE NOISELESS PICKUPS

These pickups produce all the brilliant pristine, well-defined tone of vintage single-coil pickups, with no hum.

12" FINGERBOARD RADIUS

This instrument features a fingerboard radius (the amount of curvature across the width of the fingerboard) that, at 12", is substantially more flattened than both a vintage-style 7.25" radius and a modern 9.5" radius. Feels notably flat even though there's still slight curvature--great for bending notes without fretting out.

UPGRADED MODERN BRIDGE

For superior intonation, sustain and ease of adjustment, Deluxe Series guitars feature modern bridges with upgraded features. This instrument has a string-through-body bridge with block saddles.

LOCKING SHORT-POST TUNING MACHINES

This instrument features locking short-post tuning machines for increased tuning stability and easy restringing. The increased break angle creates buzz-free performance without annoying overtones.

FOUR-WAY PICKUP SWITCH

The special four-way pickup switch on this Telecaster Thinline guitar adds a fourth read more pickup combination--neck and bridge together, in series. Series wiring sets your tone on fire with hotter output and a slight midrange boost.

SEMI-HOLLOW BODY

The most notable hallmark of this modern Telecaster Thinline model is its comfortably lightweight semi-hollow body, which also contributes much to its resonant tonal character and authentically evokes its late-1960s and early-'70s ancestors.

- Single cutaway semi-hollowbody electric guitar

- Four-way switching includes series wiring
- Six-saddle string-through-body Tele bridge with block saddles

This is an excellent guitar. Have had it for over a year now and been one of my favorite guitars to play. Taking live always catches everyones eye and the sound pulls them in. Very inspiring guitar. Straight out of the box, the guitar was playable but not perfect. Action a little higher than I prefer and rosewood fretboard felt a little dry. A proper professional set up easily fixes both of those issues though. You can get quite a few tones with the pickups in this guitar. I love the Vintage Noiseless pickups it comes with. The neck pickup can get very warm, especially since this is a semi-hollow. Bridge pickup with high tone you can get a nice Telecaster Twang if that's what you're looking for. The option to run both pickups in either Series or Parallel gives you more tone options as well making it easy to find a specific sound you're after. It's great to have Locking Tuners already installed on a guitar when you first buy it. Nice touch Fender. Visually this guitar is stunning. I don't typically love sunburst guitars, but this one with the thinline style pearloid pickguard and the f-hole really make it stand out. This guitar is pretty light as well, the headstock side will drop down as it's heavier than the body. This can be a little uncomfortable at first to play while standing but I got used to it. Overall I love this guitar. It always gets compliments on it's visuals and sound.
