The
Fender Vintage Custom 1968 Telecaster Thinline Aged Natural
stands for classic tele-feeling and distinctive semi-hollow sounds. This Telecaster with additional
resonance chamber
offers contemporary features of the late sixties and uses
two Twisted Tele Single Coils
from the Fender Custom Shop with
modern Tele-Wiring
. For the construction of the body and neck, however, only
high-quality selected woods
in the form of
ash
and
maple
with excellent resonance properties are used. Of course the Fender Vintage Custom 1968 Telecaster Thinline Aged Natural comes in a
Deluxe Hardshell Case
with
certificate of authenticity
.
The Custom Shop chooses especially
lightweight ash
for the body
of the Fender Vintage Custom 1968 Telecaster Thinline Aged Natural and assembles the body from two parts. The 1968 Telecaster Thinline not only saves additional weight thanks to a
resonance chamber
with an
F-hole
in the upper part of the body, but also benefits from the striking
semi-hollow
character of the construction. The
neck is made of quarter sawn maple
and is connected via the classic
4-way screw connection
. With its '60s Style
"Oval C" neck profile
, the Telecaster Thinline has a distinctive sixties tele-feeling in all positions.
Matching the basic construction, the Fender Vintage Custom 1968 Telecaster Thinline Aged Natural has
two hand-wound Custom Shop "Twisted" Tele Single Coils
. Both pickups feature historically correct materials such as
Alnico V magnets
and
enameled winding wire
and skilfully combine classic tele-twang and growl with the vocal tone of the semi-hollow construction. Thanks to the
Modern Tele Wiring
, both pickups are easily controlled via a
3-way blade switch
and can be connected in
parallel
, unlike traditional vintage wiring.
The Fender Custom Shop placed special emphasis on a functional, but
era appropriate
hardware configuration for the Vintage Custom 1968 Telecaster Thinline Aged Natural. Accordingly, the '
67 Telecaster Bridge
follows the original Telecaster Thinline bridge construction, while
Fender "F" stamped tuners
in the vintage style of the well-known hardware manufacturer S
challer are used on the headstock. Also visually, the Fender Vintage Custom 1968 Telecaster Thinline Aged Natural with
white pearl pickguard
and an
Aged Natural finish
with
Journeyman treatment
presents distinctive sixties charm.
