Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Telecaster® Thinline first debuted in July of 1968 and the semi-hollow design was created to produce light instruments from heavy ash. Reimagined in late ’71 around a pair of Wide-Range humbucking pickups mounted to a reshaped curvy pearloid pickguard, the souped-up second-generation Telecaster Thinline had its first full year of production in 1972. Notably, it was Fender’s first six string with humbucking pickups and the first Tele® with six adjustable bridge saddles. The American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster® Thinline reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeaturing a “C”-shape hard rock maple neck, the American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster® Thinline plays like a dream with a 7.25” radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. To create authentic Wide-Range humbucking pickups, we resurrected CuNiFe magnets, an essential element in recreating the sonics of the originals. Characteristic of production in 1972, this Thinline is outfitted with a convenient \"Bullet\" style truss rod nut, three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt™ mechanism, “F” stamped tuners, 6-saddle string-through body hardtail with bent steel saddles and offered in Aged Natural, 3-Color Sunburst, and Lake Placid Blue over a semi-hollow ash body.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCandy Apple Red, Gloss polyurethane finish, Semi-hollow Ash body, 1972 C shaped Maple neck with a 7.25\" radius Maple fingerboard and vintage tall frets, 25.5\" scale length, 1.650\" nut width, Authentic CuNiFe Wide Range humbucking pickups, 3-way switching with the master volume and tone controls, Pure Vintage string thru body hardtail bridge with the bent steel saddles, Pure Vintage Fender F stamped tuners, 6.8 pounds, With hardshell case\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53871412248944,"sku":"V17743","price":2799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2973\/3018\/files\/V17743.jpg?v=1780678022","url":"https:\/\/www.davesguitar.com\/products\/american-vintage-ii-1972-telecaster-thinline-candy-apple-red","provider":"Dave's Guitar Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
