Description

The Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline MN in Candy Apple Red is a faithful recreation of one of Fenders most distinctive and forward-thinking designs. Built with a semi-hollow ash body it delivers a lighter feel and a more open resonant voice than a standard solidbody Tele. Finished in gloss polyurethane the Candy Apple Red top brings serious visual impact while the pearloid pickguard and F-hole complete the unmistakable early-70s Thinline look that stands out on any stage. A pair of authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range humbuckers gives this model its unique tonal identity blending the clarity and snap of Fender single-coils with added output and thickness. The 1972 “C” maple neck and 7.25″ radius fingerboard keep the feel rooted in vintage spec while vintage-tall frets make bends smooth and controlled. With its bullet truss rod Micro-Tilt system and string-through hardtail bridge this Thinline delivers classic Fender character with added versatility and a slightly more modern edge.
