Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: All frets were leveled, re-crowned, and polished. The truss rod and bridge were adjusted. No further work was needed.

The Fender American Deluxe Telecaster Thinline is a refined, modern take on a classic design, offering airy resonance, comfort, and impressive versatility. Its semi-hollow ash body adds openness and warmth, while the compound-radius maple neck feels smooth and effortless from first position to upper frets. Noiseless N3 pickups deliver classic Tele snap and clarity without unwanted hum, and the S-1 switch expands the tonal palette with a powerful series option when you need extra punch. Finished in timeless 3-Color Sunburst, this USA-made Thinline is an inspiring, professional-grade instrument and a smart long-term investment built to perform beautifully for years to come.

From Fender

The 21st-century way to rock a Telecaster Thinline for the guitarist who demands the ideal combination of traditional Tele® Thinline style, versatile voicing and innovative modern features. The U.S.-made American Deluxe Telecaster Thinline delivers time-honored semi-hollow Tele Thinline design, with more under the hood for supercharged tone and performance, including a compound-radius fingerboard, special pickups and switching, and more.
