  • Description: This is a 1968, all original Fender® Telecaster® Thinline (sn# 2376XX) in a beautiful natural mahogany finish. This style guitar had a limited 4 year production in the USA, starting in late 1968 (this example was made in December, 1968). This Tele® Thinline is in excellent condition. The single f-hole body has stunningly grained mahogany and the clear finish is in great shape. There are a few checks in the finish. The “mother-of–toilet-seat” pick guard is in great shape with no cracks. The “B”size maple neck is in great shape. The original tuners and the truss rod work as intended. The frets are original as well and have almost no play wear on them. The neck is straight and action is low and fast. If you’re an old rocker like me, then it’s no doubt that your back and neck are hurting. If you’re looking to ease the pain with a lighter weight Telecaster®, this one will definitely fit the bill. She weighs in at a mere 6 ½ pounds. The two single coil pickups in her sound great too and measure 6.04 k ohms for the bridge pickup and 6.54 k ohms for the neck pickup, both measured at the output jack. The electronics and solder joints are untouched and both potentiometer codes read the 17th week of 1966. This classic Thinline will ship with its original black tolex case and will be professionally packed with care.
