The 1968 Fender Telecaster Thinline was one of Fender’s first departures from the traditional solid-body Telecaster, and this Natural example shows off the model’s distinctive semi-hollow construction. The Semi-Hollow Thinline Telecaster is noticeably lighter than a standard Telecaster, with the large F-hole giving the instrument an immediately recognizable appearance. Its traditional Tele pickup configuration keeps the sound distinctly Fender, and the maple neck and fingerboard provide the familiar feel of the period. With its understated Natural finish and unusual construction, this is a particularly interesting chapter in the history of the Telecaster.
Although this guitar's playability would benefit from a re-fret due to low vintage frets, we have opted to forego that process to preserve its 100% original state. The frets do not show indentations or wear, but they have been leveled.
Includes original Fender black tolex hard shell case.
