The Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline: Vintage Wide Range Power

Vintage Correct Telecaster Thinline Design

The Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline captures one of the most distinctive eras in Fender history. Built with period correct construction, hardware and electronics, this semi hollow Telecaster delivers the unmistakable look, feel and response that made the original 1972 model a favorite among players seeking both resonance and versatility. The striking Candy Apple Red finish pairs perfectly with the aged white pearloid pickguard for an iconic vintage aesthetic.

Authentic CuNiFe Wide Range Humbucker Tone

A pair of Authentic CuNiFe Wide Range Humbucking pickups, anchor the tone of this instrument. Fender revived the original CuNiFe magnet design to faithfully recreate the rich, articulate voice that helped define the sound of the early 1970s Thinline. Expect excellent clarity, full bodied lows, smooth mids and impressive note separation whether playing clean passages or pushing an amp into overdrive.

Classic Fender Feel and Playability

The 1972 C shaped hard rock maple neck offers a comfortable and familiar playing experience, while the 7.25 inch fingerboard radius and vintage tall frets deliver an authentic vintage feel. The traditional design encourages expressive chord work and fluid lead playing while maintaining the character of the original instrument.

Period Accurate Hardware

Built with vintage inspired appointments throughout, this Thinline features a Pure Vintage 6 saddle string through body hardtail bridge with bent steel saddles, Pure Vintage F stamped tuners, Bullet style truss rod adjustment and a three bolt neck plate with Micro Tilt mechanism. Every detail reflects Fender's commitment to recreating the original specifications with remarkable accuracy.
