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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Featuring 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The 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\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Semi-Hollow Ash Body \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Gloss Polyurethane Finish \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range Humbucking Pickups \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \"C\"-Shaped Neck Profile \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Pure Vintage 6-Saddle String-Through Body Hardtail with Bent Steel Saddles \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Pure Vintage Fender® \"F\" Stamped Tuners \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44926029496455,"sku":"0110392809-V17552","price":4017.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/files\/fender-electric-guitars-fender-american-vintage-ii-1972-telecaster-thinline-candy-apple-red-fender-american-vintage-ii-1972-telecaster-thinline-candy-apple-red-0110392809-v17552-1245129198.jpg?v=1781815503","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-ca\/products\/fender-american-vintage-ii-1972-telecaster-thinline-2478593","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
