Vintage 1968 Fender Telecaster Thinline, first year issue, beautiful flamed mahogany semi-hollow body, maple cap neck, 7.25" radius, standard 1 5/8" nut. Other than the upgraded Shaller Mini tuners and the repro switch-tip, it's 100% original down to the last screw. I don't have the original tuners as the conversion was done before I acquired it. It's a very light 6.3 lbs and resonant. Original finish. Original pups (not sure their kOhm reading, however). Original wiring harness. Original knobs. Original bridge plate. Original pots dating to the 17th week of 1966 (typical to see this on '66 and later 60s models), etc. No mods, routs, touchups, over-sprays, breaks or cracks. Some crazing and checking shown on original clearcoat. Neck is one of the most comfortable I've ever played, nice medium-round C/D, not super chunky, not thin. Original frets have been worn considerably. Case is in good shape, structurally sound, some tears in the Tolex, but both the latches still pop up and the handle is original, as is the crushed velvet orange interior. Message for additional pics or questions. I'll be happy to oblige. No trades, please.
