Description
Squier are pleased to introduce the famed Thinline model to their range of Affinity series electric guitars. With its chambered semi-hollow body, striking F-shape sound holes and string-through-body Telecaster bridge, this electric has a resonance that just can’t be found on fully solid electrics. This guitar is lightweight and comfortable to play up and down the neck thanks to its C-shaped neck with satin finish. An electric guitar that despite its affordable price point can be enjoyed and admired by players of all abilities. Available in Olympic White with a laurel fingerboard or 3-colour sunburst with a fully maple neck this versatile Thinline Tele is ready for any genre you throw at it.
Key Features
- Single-Coil – Voiced by Fender, these ceramic Single-Coil Telecaster pickups produce all the typical Tele twang and articulation you want with a sweet top end and tight lows.
- Split Shaft Tuners – Classic Fender looks with excellent tuning stability and smooth gears for optimum performance.
- Thinline – Originally conceived in the late ‘60s as a way of drastically reducing the weight of Fender’s original electric guitar design, the Thinline Telecaster quickly rose in popularity due to warm, open and airy tone.
