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\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing 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\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"feature-bullets-list\" id=\"first-instance-shown-feature-bullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemi-Hollow Ash Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss Polyurethane Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic CuNiFe Wide-Range Humbucking Pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"C\"-Shaped Neck Profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Vintage 6-Saddle String-Through Body Hardtail with Bent Steel Saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Vintage Fender® \"F\" Stamped Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: American Vintage II\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrientation: Right-Hand\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Candy Apple Red\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry Of Origin: US\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock: Telecaster®\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: 1-Piece Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Gloss Polyurethane\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 1972 \"C\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Construction: 3-Bolt\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 7.25\" (184.1 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition Inlays: Black Dot\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Dots: Black\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Bullet Style\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod Nut: Bullet Style\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Nut: Bone\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Size: Vintage Tall\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Semi-Hollow Ash\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Polyurethane\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Telecaster®\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Semi-Hollow Ash\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound Hole: Single F Hol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Pure Vintage 6-Saddle String-Through Body Hardtail with Bent Steel Saddles\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Cover\/Tailpiece: Includes Chrome Bridge Cover\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Mounting: 3-Screw Vintage-Style Hard-Tail\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: 4-Ply Aged White Pearloid\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Covers: Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Knobs: Knurled Flat-Top\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch Tip: Top Hat Style, Black\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\/Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Pure Vintage Fender® “F” Stamped\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Trees: Butterfly\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel (.010-.046 Gauges), PN 0730250406\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: 3-Bolt “F” Stamped with Micro-Tilt™, Serialized\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap Buttons: Vintage-Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Authentic CuNiFe® Wide-Range Humbucking\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Authentic CuNiFe® Wide-Range Humbucking\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: HH\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Master Volume, Master Tone\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitching: 3-Position Blade: Position 1.
