Fender Deluxe Thinline Telecaster Maple Fingerboard Candy Apple Red
Description
Two noise-free, highly articulate Vintage Noiseless Tele pickups produce rich, detailed tone, with the balanced string response, definition and twang you’ve come to expect from a Tele. The semi-hollow construction imparts seductively warm overtones to the traditional Tele sound, creating a slightly throatier voice. Four-way switching adds an exciting dimension to the traditional Tele pickup combinations—position four combines the bridge and neck pickups in series for hotter output and punchier midrange.
Enjoy increased sustain and slightly thicker tone that complements the famous Tele twang, thanks to the modern six-saddle sting-through-body bridge with block saddles. A contoured neck heel and 4-bolt asymmetrical neck plate make it easy to comfortably reach the upper registers of the neck.
The flatter 12”-radius fingerboard makes it easy to play fast leads and perform deep bends without fretting out. Locking short-post tuning machines with vintage-style buttons provide increased break angle at the nut for buzz-free playing and enhanced tuning stability, along with quicker string changes. Classic aesthetic touches include nickel/chrome hardware and a four-ply aged white pearloid pickguard, along with knurled flat-top control knobs and a black switch tip.
For players who want classic Fender semi-hollowbody tone with a bit of edge, the Deluxe Telecaster Thinline is ready to step up with its modern features and authentic style. Includes gig bag.

Terrific Light Weight Tele With Nice Deluxe Features

byCharley M
fromAustin, Texas
Mine arrived in excellent condition and nicely Setup! It plays like a Dream! I wasn't sure about a Maple Fret Board, but I like it. The Guitar Sound is Brighter than my Strat, but more 3 dimensional. I definitely can work with the brightness and tone it down a little.
This is MIM and the wiring and pots were defective

I bought this online and it was shipped to the store. I played it at the store — it seemed fine. Within a couple of weeks the tone pot & volume pot started intermittent crackling and cutting out. It was defective. But since I had it longer than the 30 days I I had my tech re-wire the whole thing and put in a new cap and new tone pot. Sounds & plays great now — after $200 of work.
Love this guitar!

Was really psyched for this guitar. Took one down from the wall at GC and the frets were so jagged I never even bothered to plug it in.What a shame!

I was concerned about purchasing an instrument that had been sent back by a previous customer, so I took the guitar to a music store where many of the session players have their guitars set up. After the set up and inspection the tech indicated that I did good and the guitar is like new.
OK, I REALLY LIKE THIS LITTLE TELE
