This second iteration of the Thinline model was introduced in ‘72, featuring an ash body and one-piece maple neck, loaded with a pair of Wide Range humbuckers.\n\nThe ash body offers ample midrange detail and punch, complemented by the smooth, airy quality of the semi-hollow construction. This guitar boasts its pair of original Seth Lover-designed Fender \"Wide Range\" humbuckers with CuNiFe magnets, and these pickups deliver some of the clearest, most powerful, and richest tones ever heard on a Fender. As the chief architect of Gibson's PAF humbucker, Lover certainly knew how to craft a dynamic and balanced pickup, and the Wide Range design succeeds in glassy, percussive cleans that have an incredible warmth and nuance.
