The Thinline Telecaster body is not only lighter but also more resonant, adding warmth and color to the tone. The 1968 Telecaster Thinline was originally offered in natural ash or mahogany, with a solid center and hollow wings bearing an “F” hole on the upper bout.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003eThe Vintage Custom 1968 Tele Thinline features a semi-hollow mahogany body finished in aged natural NOS lacquer. The lightly tinted rift-sawn maple neck has an '60s oval “C” profile, topped by a 7.25”-9.5” vintage compound-radius round-lam maple fingerboard with 21 medium vintage frets. The hand-wound 1967 Telecaster pickups have three-way switching and modern Telecaster wiring. Other features include a period-correct white pearloid pickguard, ’67 Telecaster bridge assembly, vintage-style “F” tuners, bone nut, and wing string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap, 1950 Esquire control assembly, and certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 9235001176\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/b\u003e R102998\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFinish Package:\u003c\/b\u003e New Old Stock\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Fender Custom Shop Black\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6lbs 6.4oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e Fiji Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Aged Natural\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Nitro Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollow Body w\/F-hole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eHardware Plating:\u003c\/b\u003e Chrome\/Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e 67 Tele\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eOutput Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Tele\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eControl Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Present Day Tele\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e R Serial F Logo\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eTuner Keys:\u003c\/b\u003e Schaller F Key\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eString Guide:\u003c\/b\u003e American Vintage 56-58\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/b\u003e .010-.046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e 67 Tele New Old Stock\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Light Tint Polyester\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Blank:\u003c\/b\u003e Rift Sawn Maple\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e Rift Sawn Maple\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/b\u003e Late 60s\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eHead Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Tele\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Head Thickness:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.575\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Scoop:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eDot Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e Narrow\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFace Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta Black .250\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSide Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta Black 3\/32\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFret Wire:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 21\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.25\"-9.50\" Compound Radius\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Back Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e 60 Style Oval \"C\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Nut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.650\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .850\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .920\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Butt Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.200\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Bone\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNumber of Bolts:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 Bolt\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eHead Cap Decal:\u003c\/b\u003e 67-76 Tele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e 60s Thinline White Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003ePickup Neck:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-wound 67 Tele Neck\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003ePickup Bridge:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-wound 67 Tele Bridge\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSwitch Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e SWC Top Hat Tele\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/b\u003e Knurled Chrome","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34587802271879,"sku":"9235001176-R102998","price":3900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/fender-electric-guitars-semi-hollow-fender-custom-shop-vintage-custom-1968-telecaster-thinline-aged-natural-9235001176-r102998-28156854993031.jpg?v=1647316758","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/products\/fender-custom-shop-vintage-custom-1968-telecaster-thinline-888347","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
