(SOLD) Fender Made In Japan Traditional 70s Telecaster Thinline Natural 2016
Fender MIJ Traditional 70s Tele Thinline, natural gloss, made in Japan 2016. I love this, it's a very agreeable thing. The Thinline Tele debuted in 1969, offering a chambered body with a pair of single coil pickups. Fender's Seth Lover designed Wide Range humbucker arrived in 1972, so the Thinline T was blessed with a pair, and this model was born. It's a great combo: the lightweight chambered ash body offers a great balance of snappy attack and airy complexity, complemented by the pickups which add a great mix of beefy, assured low end and singing clarity. It's a dream as a rhythm guitar, dense chords come out in singing clarity all the way up and down the neck. The natural finish lets the grain do the talking, and paired with the pearl guard and bold black logos, it has a certain understated flair. This is a satisfying and simple guitar, it'll just make things better.
