Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar with Ash Body, Maple Neck, Maple Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups – Aged Natural

A Re-creation of the Legendary ’72 Tele Thinline

The Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline is a hyper-accurate take on the company’s first humbucker-equipped electric guitar, which was also the first Tele with six adjustable bridge saddles. The ’72 Tele Thinline is built around a lightweight, semi-hollow ash body that yields a bright, sustaining acoustic tone with truckloads of extra resonance. Wide-Range pickups, with authentic CuNiFe magnets, serve up thick humbucker tones with the perfect amount of high-end bite. You’ll be blown away by the effortless playability of this guitar’s “C”-shaped, hard-rock maple neck and vintage-radius maple fingerboard. The American Vintage II 1972 Tele Thinline boasts plenty period-correct appointments, including knurled flat-top knobs, a 6-saddle hardtail bridge with bent steel saddles, “F”-stamped tuning machines, a 3-bolt neck plate, and a sweet-looking gloss polyurethane finish on the body and neck. The ’72 Telecaster Thinline reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of one of the most coveted guitars in Fender’s storied history. The American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline epitomizes Fender electrics in their purest form. So, if you’ve been eyeing a Tele Thinline, now’s the perfect time to take the plunge.

Loads of period-accurate appointments

The American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline is a spot-on re-creation of a Fender classic. This electric guitar features a lightweight ash body, imbuing it with a bright acoustic tone with excellent sustain and loads of midrange “pop,” not to mention added resonance, by virtue of its semi-hollow construction. The 1972 Tele Thinline’s nickel/chrome hardware includes a 6-saddle, string-through-body hardtail bridge with bent steel saddles, “F”-stamped tuning machines, knurled flat-top control knobs, and a 3-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt. Authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range humbucking pickups, a period-correct neck shape, and vintage-radius fingerboard round out the American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline’s classic appointments.

Seth Lover-designed Wide-Range humbuckers

When you plug the Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline into your favorite amplifier, you’ll be transported straight back to ’72. Originally designed by pickup guru Seth Lover, this solidbody electric guitar’s Wide-Range humbucking pickups feature large bobbins and threaded CuNiFe-rod magnets, which had been out of production since 1981. These magnets are vital to achieving a period-accurate sound, one that can be best described as an amalgam of humbucker girth and signature Fender chime with distinctive hi-fi character. These pickups also include a chrome cover with a “3 3” exposed pole-piece design and an attention-grabbing Fender logo. The American Vintage II 1972 Tele Thinline comes complete with independent volume and tone knobs for each pickup, plus a 3-position pickup toggle switch.

Effortlessly playable neck

When we first picked up the American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline here, we were blown away by its effortless playability. The ’72 Tele Thinline’s “C”-shaped hard-rock maple neck vaunts Goldilocks dimensions — not too big, not too small — for an eminently comfortable playing experience. You also get a maple fingerboard with a vintage 7.25-inch radius and 21 vintage-tall frets, plus a bullet-style truss rod. The neck features a vintage tint, and it’s finished with eye-catching gloss polyurethane.
