Full Description
View Full DescriptionFaithful to the 1972 original
The American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline has been built to reproduce the character of the original with remarkable attention to detail. Its semi-hollow ash body, finished in gloss polyurethane and complemented by a single F hole, recreates the lightweight construction introduced to improve comfort while adding a naturally open, resonant voice. Fender has retained period-correct appointments throughout, including the three-bolt neck with Micro-Tilt mechanism, Bullet-style truss rod adjustment and vintage-inspired hardware, ensuring the instrument delivers the appearance, feel and performance expected from a true recreation of this influential model.
Authentic CuNiFe humbucking tone
One of the defining features of the 1972 Telecaster Thinline was the introduction of Wide-Range humbucking pickups, and this model faithfully revives that iconic sound. Fender recreated the original CuNiFe magnetic alloy to produce authentic Wide-Range humbuckers with the clarity and snap associated with classic Fender designs, while adding greater output, fuller mids and thicker overall tone. The result is a versatile voice that comfortably covers sparkling clean passages, expressive blues, crunchy rock rhythms and rich lead tones, all while retaining the unmistakable character that made the original so distinctive.
Comfortable vintage playability
The one-piece maple neck features an authentic 1972 "C"-shaped profile that sits naturally in the hand and encourages confident playing across the entire fingerboard. Its vintage-style 7.25-inch radius recreates the familiar feel of classic Fender instruments, while vintage tall frets make bends smoother and reduce the chance of notes fretting out during expressive playing. Combined with a traditional 25.5-inch scale length and bone nut, the neck delivers an inspiring balance of vintage authenticity and dependable modern performance.
Period-correct hardware throughout
Every hardware component has been selected to mirror the specifications of the original instrument. The Pure Vintage six-saddle string-through hardtail bridge with bent steel saddles provides dependable intonation and strong resonance, while Pure Vintage "F" stamped tuning machines offer reliable tuning stability with unmistakable seventies styling. Additional period details, including the chrome bridge cover, vintage-style strap buttons, butterfly string tree and knurled flat-top control knobs, complete an instrument that captures the craftsmanship, tone and timeless appeal of one of Fender's most celebrated Telecaster designs.
