I am offering a Fender American Original '60s Thinline Telecaster from 2019, a made in Corona, California (USA) reissue model of a 1960s Thinline Telecaster with a lightweight resonant semi-hollow ash body (3.1 kg total weight!), bolt-on maple neck with '60s “C”neck profile and 42mm bone nut, elegant maple fingerboard with black dot inlays and 9.5" radius, two sonically hot Fender USA Tim Shaw '60s Thinline singlecoil pickups, 3-piece vintage Tele bridge with grooved barrel steel string saddles and legendary Fender F-stamp vintage tuners in a glossy Surf Green high-gloss nitrocellulose finish with tortoiseshell pickguard in very good condition including black Fender hardshell case, manufacturer's papers and professional setup with 10-gauge Ernie Ball strings.

This Fender '60s Thinline Telecaster from the original series is a detailed reissue of a 1960s Fender Thinline Telecaster, with which Fender ventured into new territory at the end of the '60s with a semi-hollow ash body including an F-hole. Contemporary details include the oversized pickguard and knurled pot knobs, as well as the characteristic vintage-style F stamp tuners and the three-piece vintage bridge with grooved barrel-shaped steel string saddles.

The characteristic airy, woody timbre of the semi-hollow construction is superbly transmitted to the amp by the Fender USA '60s singlecoil pickups developed by Tim Shaw, adding warmth and depth to the characteristic Tele twang. The guitar is extremely versatile, covering everything from percussive, singing clean tones to dirty, distorted rock sounds that are always clearly articulated.

A sound sample of the model can be found above at the end of the photo gallery.

The Seafoam Green Nitro high-gloss finish not only gives the guitar an authentic vintage vibe, but also allows it to “breathe,” resulting in excellent natural resonance. The '60s “C”-shaped maple neck also allows for smooth, easy playability on the maple fingerboard equipped with 21 vintage tall frets.

The workmanship is of a high US standard, and anyone who has held this guitar in their hands will notice this from the very first note!

The Fender AM Original '60s Thinline Tele is no longer manufactured in this form and is rare in this version.

This Fender Thinline Tele is in very good overall condition and technically flawless. Visually, there is various minor wear (see pictures). The frets are immaculate.

The instrument has been professionally set up with 10-gauge Ernie Ball strings and I (a long-time guitar teacher) will ship it fully insured with DHL for €29.99 within Germany or €69.99 within the EU. Worldwide shipping available - individual shipping costs upon request.
