Rare thinline in its very first version with a mahogany body and a single neck pickup. This particular model is in good condition and resonates very well. It is a lightweight instrument that weighs only 3kg. I invite you to listen to Curtis Mayfield's album: Live! where he plays a Thinline identical to this one. The guitar presented here is in good condition, the pots codes are from 1966, the pickups are original, the bridge pickup has been rewound and we can see that another single pickup was likely installed and then removed in the neck pickup cavity. The frets have plenty of life left and the guitar is very easy to play: the neck is a maple cap of course. Mid70s Fender telecaster case.

The Fender Telecaster, known affectionately as the "Tele," emerged as the first mass-produced solid-body electric guitar, marking a significant milestone in music history. Its straightforward design and innovative sound paved the way for new trends in electric guitar manufacturing and popular music. Since its debut in the 1950s, the Telecaster has been celebrated for its versatility, serving artists across genres from country to jazz, rock, and beyond. Its solid construction, characterized by a single-cutaway body made typically from alder or ash and a bolt-on maple neck, contributes to its distinct, bright, and cutting tone as well as a warm, mellow sound depending on pickup selection. With minor modifications over the years, the Telecaster has remained largely faithful to its original design, featuring two single-coil pickups, a three-way selector switch, and simple volume and tone controls. This enduring design has kept the Telecaster relevant and in continuous production, solidifying its status as a beloved icon in the guitar world.
