Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eThe Telecaster® Thinline first debuted in July of 1968 and the semi-hollow design was created to produce light instruments from heavy ash. Reimagined in late '71 around a pair of Wide-Range humbucking pickups mounted to a reshaped curvy pearloid pickguard, the souped-up second-generation Telecaster Thinline had its first full year of production in 1972. Notably, it was Fender's first six string with humbucking pickups and the first Tele® with six adjustable bridge saddles. The American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster® Thinline reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing a \"C\"-shape hard rock maple neck, the American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster® Thinline plays like a dream with a 7.25\" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. To create authentic Wide-Range humbucking pickups, Fender resurrected CuNiFe magnets, an essential element in recreating the sonics of the originals. Characteristic of production in 1972, this Thinline is outfitted with a convenient \"Bullet\" style truss rod nut, three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt™ mechanism, \"F\" stamped tuners, 6-saddle string-through body hardtail with bent steel saddles.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eThe instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45011163250887,"sku":"FENAVII72TTMNAGN-FENV15374","price":2599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1713021.jpg?v=1781261371","url":"https:\/\/www.gryphonstrings.com\/products\/fender-american-vintage-ii-1972-telecaster-thinline-maple-fingerboard-aged-natural-new-22751","provider":"Gryphon Strings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
