2016 Fender Custom Shop Limited 50's Thinline Telecaster Relic Vintage Blonde
Offered here is a fantastic limited run semi-hollow Telecaster with a Rosewood neck and fingerboard which the Custom Shop calls the "50's Telecaster Thinline" and was built in 2016. Of course, this model name is a bit of a misnomer, as the first Fender Thinline wasn't even introduced until 1969. This naming issue notwithstanding, this is one very cool Thinline!
This guitar has a premium, semi-hollow Ash body with moderate factory aging and an Vintage Blonde nitrocellulose lacquer finish. It weighs just 5 pounds, 11 ounces and is nicely balanced. It has a solid Rosewood neck with a chunky "57 Soft V" carve with depth measurements of .865" at the first fret and .987" at the twelfth fret. The Rosewood fingerboard has a 9.5" radius, 6105 frets and a 1.650" bone nut. The electronics include a Custom Shop Twisted Tele single coil in the neck position, a Broadcaster single coil in the bridge position, with volume and tone controls, a three way switch and modern wiring.
Look our inventory over and you will notice our partiality towards semi and fully hollow electrics. We love the light weight and the resonance that such guitars typically have and their slightly more open and woody tone. This guitar has Tele "spank" in spades and adds an additional touch of ES 335 to it's voice. Check out the provided sound sample and see if you agree. The Rosewood neck on this limited edition model is just frosting on the cake. It is chunky but without big shoulders and the "V" is so soft that many will mistake it for a "C". The density and the rigidity of the Rosewood neck makes it a perfect, albeit expensive material for a guitar neck.
This well-cared for and lightly played 2016 guitar shows no wear that can be distinguished from its original factory aging. As evidenced by the included photo, the frets remain in marvelous condition as well. It comes in a very cool "western tooled" G&G case with the certificate of authenticity, build sheet and the accessories shown
We love virtually all Custom Shop Teles, but Thinlines are even better in our book. The Rosewood neck makes this limited edition model particularly special. Make it yours!
