{"product_id":"fender-telecaster-1969-thinline-gold-sparkle-2026","title":"Fender '69 Telecaster Thinline Build Gold Sparkle 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eFender Thinline Build, gold sparkle, assembled in Australia 2026. This is a classy parts build from a regular Topshelfer, based on the 1969 version of the Thinline Telcaster. The body is out of China, but it's very made and finished and is certainly at least as good as many F-made examples. It's got a loaded Vintera II pickguard, with Fender pickups and electronics and a matching Fender bridge. The neck is a USA-made American Performer model, with a modern radius, tall frets and a fast feel. The guitar sounds, feels and presents like a factory original; it's got a pleasing congruence to it. The sound is sweet: clear and glassy with open mids and a fast bass. Sparkles for the win.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fender '69 Telecaster Thinline Build \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Assembled Australia 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial\u003c\/strong\u003e: US25010663 (neck)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gold Sparkle, gloss poly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e: alder, semi-hollow, made and finished in China, loaded Vintera II pickguard made Mexico 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fender American Performer Telecaster neck, 25.5\" scale, 9.5\" radius, 43mm nut, slim C shape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.000kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMods\u003c\/strong\u003e: built from parts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickups\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fender Vintera II single coil x2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fender gig bag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCosmetic condition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: minor finish wear.
