Fender Custom Shop Artisan Knotty Pine Tele Thinline - Aged Natural
This Custom Shop Telecaster Thinline is exceptionally lightweight and resonant and boasts a gorgeous knotty pine top with two pronounced, book matched knots, as well as lots of beautiful grain. The neck of this guitar is just as beautiful, made from gorgeous birdseye maple, in a very comfortable C profile, and beautiful dark rosewood fretboard.
This Tele weighs a svelte 5.6lbs
The Artisan Knotty Pine Tele Thinline features a combination of the finest hand-selected woods, custom components and master craftsmanship only found in the Fender Custom Shop. A chambered and roasted pine body and knotty pine top with f-hole deliver steadfast tone with enduring resonance, all with the exquisite look of brown-shell top binding and rope purfling. A roasted 2A birdseye maple neck with round-lam rosewood fingerboard features a '60-style oval "C" back-shape, 9.5" fingerboard radius and 21 narrow tall frets.
Hand-wound Loaded Nocaster pickups feature three-way switching and Fat '50s Tele wiring, which creates stronger tone with a transparent bloom and minimizes treble loss that typically occurs when rolling back volume. Other features include a brown-shell Caballo Tono pickguard, '58-'63 Tele bridge with compensated RSD saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and a wing string tree. Also includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
