Fender USA American Vintage II Thinline Telecaster • SN: V10740

Wildwoodians, the Telecaster Thinline has captured the musical imagination of multiple generations of guitar players with its stylish good looks and sweet tone. We have a feeling that the American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline is going to steal the hearts of guitar players all over again! It exhibits the aesthetic and sonic charms of its vintage predecessor in spades, and it makes for a delightful vintage-inspired playing experience.

Originally, the Telecaster Thinline was a practical solution to an engineering problem. Fender needed to keep churning out instruments, but they were running out of lightweight ash. In 1968, former Rickenbacker design wizard turned Fender Tone Scientist Roger Rossmeisl saved guitar players' backs the world over by saying "Why don't we just hollow it out?" and a legend was born. Though creating lightweight guitars was the aim, chambering the body gave the Tele Thinline an open, airy tone and imparted a bit of acoustic-like responsiveness. Though the original came equipped with standard single-coils, by 1972 Fender switched to beefier-sounding Wide-Range humbuckers that (to put it scientifically) totally ruled.
