Fender Deluxe Telecaster Thinline MN Candy Apple Red

Light in weight, but not sound, the Deluxe Telecaster Thinline is crafted with timelessly elegant style and authentic Fender tone. Crisp and articulate, with a versatile voice that cuts through a busy mix, this stage-tested design is the ideal combination of modern features and traditional aesthetics. With a little bit of extra ‘magic’ up its sleeve, this instrument is as flexible as it is distinctly stylish. 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.Finish: Candy Apple Red.Series: DeluxeBody Material: AlderBody Finish: Gloss PolyesterNeck: Maple, “C” ShapeNeck Finish: Satin PolyurethaneFingerboard: Rosewood (300), 12” (305 mm), Maple (309), 12” (305 mm)Frets: 22, Narrow TallTuning Machines: Deluxe Cast/Sealed Locking with Vintage Style ButtonPosition Inlays: Black Pearloid Dots on Maple, White Pearloid Dots on RosewoodNut (Material/Width): Synthetic Bone, 1.650” (42 mm)Scale Length: 25.5” (648 mm)Bridge: 6-Saddle Strings-Through-Body Hardtail With Block SaddlesPickguard: 4-Ply Aged White PearloidPickups: Vintage Noiseless™ Single-Coil Telecaster (Bridge/Neck)Pickup Switching:4-Position Blade: Position 1.
