Austin Bazaar is an authorized Fender dealer.

SEMI-HOLLOW ASH BODY: Ash is a warm-toned wood with clear, bright highs, defined midrange, and a beautiful grain pattern. The lightweight semi-hollow construction adds a warmth and resonance unique to Telecaster Thinline models.

7.25' RADIUS MAPLE FINGERBOARD: The 7.25'-radius fingerboard provides the comfortable playing feel of a vintage instrument, while vintage-tall frets make it easier to bend notes without fretting out.

VINTAGE-ACCURATE 1972 'C'-SHAPE NECK: In vintage years, the shape and thickness of Fender guitar necks varied tremendously. The American Vintage II Series offers a variety of authentic neck profiles from Fender's past.

AUTHENTIC CUNIFE WIDE-RANGE HUMBUCKING PICKUPS: To create an authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range humbucking pickup, we resurrected an alloy that had ceased production for four decades, and tooled up to produce authentic threaded CuNiFe magnets, an essential element in recreating the sonics of the original. These pickups produce tones that retain the clarity and snap of Fender's single-coils, while also boasting much higher output and thicker timbres.

The Fender American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Featuring 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" "BRIDGE: Pure Vintage 6-Saddle String-Through Body Hardtail with Bent Steel Saddles.
