2019 Fender American Original 60's Tele Thinline - Surf Green

This 2019 American Original '60s Thinline Telecaster is a great recreation of the late-60s transition era. It features the classic semi-hollow ash body with a single F-hole, finished in a period-correct Surf Green. While it nails the vintage look, it’s built with a 9.5" fingerboard radius and vintage-tall frets, making it a much more practical player for bends and lead work than a strictly vintage-spec neck.

The electronics are a highlight here, featuring a set of 60s Telecaster Thinline Single Coils voiced specifically for the Thinline body. These pickups capture that authentic late-60s twang but are tuned to work with the extra resonance of the semi-hollow chambers, avoiding the muddiness sometimes found in poorly matched Thinline setups. It's a lightweight, resonant Tele that handles clean country snaps and overdriven indie-rock equally well.
