Fender American Vintage "Thin Skin" '72 Tele Custom - Crimson Red Transparent • Wildwood Guitars

The Tale of the Tele Custom
The 1970s were a confusing time for everyone, but 1972 was an especially perplexing year. While kids everywhere jostled one other in front of the TV set for a chance to play the first iteration of Pong, adults everywhere saw the tale of the Watergate scandal unfold on the evening news.

The musical world was in tumult, too, and the upheaval caught Fender off guard. Led Zeppelin had dethroned the Beatles as the biggest band on Earth, and David Bowie debuted a new stage persona modeled after Lou Reed and Iggy Pop that he called Ziggy Stardust. The sound of a humbucker-equipped guitar plugged into a Marshall amplifier was the de facto sound of rock and roll, and Fender was nervous that their single-coils wouldn’t be able to keep up with the demands of rockers looking for meaty tones.

Amp: Tone King Imperial MKII
Overdrive: Friedman Smallbox 50
