Fender Custom Shop '72 Telecaster Thinline Heavy Relic Electric Guitar

Description: A Top-class Tribute to a Semi-hollow Icon All the way back in 1968, Fender released the Telecaster Thinline — an ultra-lightweight, semi-hollowbody variation on the company’s very first solidbody guitar. About a half-century down the line, the Fender Custom Shop’s ’72 Telecaster Thinline Heavy Relic represents a vintage-meets-modern reimagining of this Tele’s semi-hollowbody ancestor. It all starts with a hollowed-out ash body, providing you with enhanced resonance and an airier feel than your typical slab Tele. Under the hood, an electrifying pair of Seth Lover-designed Fender Wide-Range CuNiFe humbuckers harken to lauded late-1970s sounds that inspired their original development, resulting in brilliantly flexible sonics that augment the Thinline’s naturally distinctive aural profile. Finally, a quarter-sawn AA flamed maple neck completes this Sweetwater-exclusive guitar’s time-traveling vintage/modern hybrid formula with an old-school ’60s Oval “C” profile and a high-performance 9.5-inch radius for superior playability.Time-traveling ‘70s sonics Fender originally debuted their Wide-Range CuNiFe Sweetwater is an Authorized Fender Custom Shop Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty and 55 point inspection Fender Custom Shop '72 Telecaster Thinline Heavy Relic Electric Guitar - Faded Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar with Ash Body, Maple Neck, Maple Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups - Faded Aged 3-color Sunburst, Sweetwater Exclusive A Top-class Tribute to a Semi-hollow Icon All the way back in 1968, Fender released the Telecaster Thinline — an ultra-lightweight, semi-hollowbody variation on the company’s very first solidbody guitar. About a half-century down the line, the Fender Custom Shop’s ’72 Telecaster Thinline Heavy Relic represents a vintage-meets-modern reimagining of this Tele’s semi-hollowbody ancestor. It all starts with a hollowed-out ash body, providing you with enhanced resonance and an airier feel than your typical slab Tele. Under the hood, an electrifying pair of Seth Lover-designed Fender Wide-Range CuNiFe humbuckers harken to lauded late-1970s sounds that inspired their original development, resulting in brilliantly flexible sonics that augment the Thinline’s naturally distinctive aural profile.

Rather than chase the trend, Lover forged these voltaic higher-output dual-coil pickups by threading CuNiFe rod magnets through larger bobbins, resulting in the shimmering clarity, transparent trebles, and solid basses that capture the now-vintage vibes of the 1970s tones. This ’72 Thinline tele deploys Wide Range pickups in both neck- and bridge-mounted positions, accompanied by Master Volume and Tone knobs, as well as a 3-way selector, ensuring comprehensive tone-crafting, with precise attack and evocative definition that won’t relent as you push them.Iconic in-hand feel with ‘60s style There’s a reason why the “C” profile neck has served as the standard Fender neck shape for decades — it’s simply a tremendous middle-ground neck style that all types of players have come to love. That being said, the “C” has quite a few minor variations, and if you’re a player that likes a slightly chunkier neck, this Custom Shop ’72 Telecaster Thinline is just your speed. Its Oval “C” profile offers all the comfort of a standard “C,” but with a greater heft to better fill out your hand. Plus, this vintage-style neck is outfitted with a variety of modern appointments: 21 narrow-tall frets in a modern 9.5-inch radius make anything from open chords to high-register bends a breeze.The Dream Factory Since its founding in 1987, the Fender Custom Shop has been home to some of the finest luthiers in the world.
