Description

This unique guitar combines elements from several iconic Fender models, creating a customised Telecaster with both vintage aesthetics and modern features. The neck is from a Fender American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom, with a classic 7.25-inch radius and serial number on the headstock, while the body is a Fender Vintera II 60’s Telecaster Thinline in swamp ash, finished in black. It also includes the distinctive Fender “F”-stamped 4-bolt neck plate, adding to its vintage appeal.The guitar features a Fender CuNiFe Wide Range Humbucker in the neck position and a Fender Vintera II Telecaster single-coil bridge pickup, capturing the classic 1972 Telecaster Custom configuration. The bridge is a vintage-style Fender Telecaster bridge with grooved steel saddles, and it includes 2 volume and 2 tone controls with black “witches hat” knobs, as seen on the 1972 Telecaster Deluxe, along with a “Pure Vintage” CRL 3-way switch. This Tele has high-quality“450 Series” 1 Meg pots for the WRHB and the “450 Series” 275k pots for the bridge pickup.Designed with versatility in mind, this guitar’s custom 3-ply black/white/black pickguard was CNC-cut by David Fletcher of Fletcher Handcrafted Guitars. The pickguard is an homage to several Fender models: the upper bout echoes the 1969 Thinline, while the lower section is inspired by the 1972 Telecaster Deluxe. This design also allows room for additional modifications, like a Mastery bridge or Bigsby vibrato, making it perfect for players who want the sound of a 1972 Telecaster Custom in a Thinline body with the desirable CuNiFe humbucker and swamp ash construction. The guitar comes with a Fender gig bag for safe transport.

Renowned for its warm, resonant sound and comfortable playability, the Thinline has been favored by musicians across genres, from country and blues to rock and beyond. Its combination of classic Telecaster style with enhanced acoustic qualities makes it a versatile and sought-after instrument.
