USED Fender Custom Shop / Vintage Custom 1968 Telecaster Thinline Aged Natural [06]

The Vintage Custom Series 1968 Telecaster Thinline is now in stock in pre-owned condition!

Fiji Mahogany hollow construction body with NOS Aged Natural finish on WLS Undercoat, 60s Oval "C" shape "Rift-sawn Maple" neck, "Round-Lam Maple" maple neck, and "Round-Lam" maple neck. Round-Lam Maple fingerboard.
The fretboard has a 7.25"-9.5" Compound Radius and Medium Vintage Frets. The standard C-shape with little habit and the fingerboard radius that flattens toward the high frets provide a smooth playing feel despite the vintage-oriented specifications.
The "Hand-Wound 67 TELE" pickups produce a clear and separate tone. The controls are the usual 3-way switch, 1Vol, and 1Tone, allowing the player to create the sound as he or she envisions it without any confusion.
The pegs are F-keyed to match the year, and the bridge saddle is made of grooved stainless steel, and the stainless steel saddle brings a clear and distinct sound.

The fusion of the mahogany hollowbody and the specs of around 1968, which have the jerkiest sound rise of any Telecaster, gives the sound a nice sense of separation and a pleasant spread of sound.
The "WLS Undercoat" is a so-called poly coating, which reproduces the six-skin finish from around 1968. Of course, the paint is Custom Shop quality, so it is not thick, but thin enough to show the mahogany conduit. Also, the top of the head is painted with a medium tint to reproduce the color tanning caused by the lacquer coating only on the head. The logo on the head is "TELECASTER" even though it is a Thinline model, which is also in accordance with the specifications of the early models around 1968.

There are no major scratches that stand out, and there are a few minor dents and scratches, but the condition is good. The certificate of authenticity and spec sheet are included, as well as the bridge cover and strap.
