Building on the success of their acclaimed American Vintage and Original ranges, Fender's revamped American Vintage II Series takes things up a notch! Comprising dozens of remarkably precise recreations of timeless Fender designs, these guitars are built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes, and meticulously-voiced, year-specific pickups. The American Vintage II Series painstakingly pays tribute to the revolutionary instruments that altered the course of popular music forever, with each model capturing the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.

The Telecaster Thinline first debuted in 1968, and its unique semi-hollow design was created as a means for Fender to produce light instruments from heavy Ash. Reimagined in late '71 around a pair of Wide-Range humbuckers mounted to a reshaped curvy pearloid pickguard, the souped-up second-generation Tele 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, down to every detail!

Featuring a "C"-shaped Maple neck, the American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline offers exceptional playing comfort with a traditional 7.25"-radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. To create authentic Wide-Range humbuckers, Fender resurrected CuNiFe magnets — an essential element in recreating the sonics of the originals. Characteristic of production in '72, this Thinline is outfitted with a convenient "Bullet" style truss rod, 3-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt mechanism, "F"-stamped tuners and a 6-saddle string-through body hardtail with bent steel saddles.

Key Features

  • Wide-Range CuNiFe Pickups — Deliver rich bell-like humbucking tones with full bass and clear treble; offering "hi-fi" clarity yet never losing their attack and definition, no matter how hard they're pushed!
  • 3-Bolt Neck Plate with Micro-Tilt — The CBS era is famously infamous for tinkering with Leo Fender's formulas, with the 3-bolt neck joint a hallmark of '70s Fender instruments. The Micro-Tilt mechanism allows you to easily tweak the angle of the neck in relation of the guitar's body, to achieve optimal string action.
  • "C"-Shaped Maple Neck — A slim, period-correct neck profile that's synonymous with '70s Fenders. It plays like a dream!
  • Bone Nut — Traditional, low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips.
  • 6-Saddle String-Through-Body Hardtail Bridge — Individual saddles allow for precise action and intonation adjustment, with string-through design yielding increased sustain. A chrome bridge cover is included, if you love that retro aesthetic!
  • Vintage-Style Case — A rugged black hard case is included, offering excellent protection. It features a bright orange interior too!
  • Made in Corona, California — All American Vintage II guitars are constructed in Fender's main California factory; the beating heart of Fender craftsmanship.

Stuff About Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Stuff About Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.

The Important stuff

Aged Natural. Telecaster — The Telecaster is one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made, first introduced by Fender in the early 1950s. Known for its simple design, solid body, and distinctive twang, it became the go-to instrument for country, rock, blues, and punk players alike. Its two single-coil pickups deliver bright, cutting tones with great clarity, making it perfect for both rhythm and lead work. The Tele’s bolt-on neck, smooth playability, and rugged build have helped it remain a timeless classic — a true workhorse guitar that’s still inspiring musicians over 70 years after its debut..
