About Fender American Orig '60s Tele

Bring the iconic sound and style of the '60s to your music with the American Original '60s Telecaster Thinline Electric Guitar. This instrument, renowned for its semi-hollow warmth, rounder twang, and elegant appearance, is a cherished classic within the esteemed Telecaster lineup. It's a favorite among country musicians and indie rockers alike, offering a unique blend of vintage charm and modern playability.

The American Original '60s Telecaster Thinline is a faithful recreation of this sophisticated six-string, featuring Tim Shaw designed '60s Telecaster Thinline pickups. These pickups deliver authentic late sixties Tele tones, providing a sound that's as timeless as the guitar's aesthetic.

This guitar boasts a 9.5" radius and 21 Vintage Tall frets, contributing to a comfortable playing experience. It also features original-era body radii and vintage-style hardware, including F logo tuners, for an authentic '60s feel.

The semi-hollow ash body of the Telecaster Thinline is lightweight, making it ideal for extended gigging. It also adds a unique warmth and resonance that sets Thinline models apart. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only allows the wood to breathe naturally, enhancing its resonant tone, but also ages and wears in a distinctively appealing way.

The American Original '60s Telecaster Thinline also features a "Medium C"-shaped neck profile. This design is remarkably comfortable and sculpted for a period-correct playing feel that suits all players. The 9.5"-radius fingerboard is slightly flatter than a vintage-style 7.25" radius, providing a comfortable fret-hand feel. The vintage-tall frets make it easier to bend notes without fretting out.

In short, the American Original '60s Telecaster Thinline Electric Guitar, with its Maple Fingerboard and Aged Natural finish, is a perfect blend of vintage style and modern playability. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of the Telecaster lineup and a must-have for any serious guitarist.
