CONSIGN Fender 1971 Thinline Telecaster with Case

Product Details

Brand: Fender

Introduced in 1968, the Thinline Telecaster was Fender’s ingenious response to player demand for lighter instruments. Designed by German luthier Roger Rossmeisl, it maintained the classic Tele shape but featured a semi-hollow ash body with a solid center block and f-hole—resulting in a lighter guitar with rich tonal resonance.

This 1971 Fender Thinline Telecaster features a hollow ash body, a bolt-on maple neck with a maple fingerboard, two Fender Wide Range single-coil pickups with metal covers, a Telecaster bridge and three-saddle tailpiece, and a single-ply pickguard, made from "pearloid" (mother-of-toilet-seat). Other specifications include a 25.5-inch scale length, a 1 5/8-inch nut width, and a medium-to-thick neck profile.
