Up for sale, a 2008 Fender Telecaster Thinline ‘72 vintage reissue model TN72 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This “Crafted in Japan” Tele was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, uncommon outside its country of origin.

Boasting a Wide Range humbucker design more tonally faithful to the originals than many other Fender reissues of the era, this guitar is fat and full-sounding while retaining a distinctive, sweet top end character and percussive cut. The ash body provides a certain midrange punch, and the semi-hollow construction adds an inherent warmth and openness to the sound. This Telecaster Thinline weighs 6lbs 13oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Natural finish highlights dynamic bearclaw figuring in the ash body on top, and there is a "tan line" from a previously removed band sticker (The Metros) at the bass-side upper bout on top. Cosmetic wear is limited to light buckle rash central to the back, a few small nicks and chips along the lower bout perimeter, and a few pinhead-sized dings on top. The neck profile retains its smooth gloss.

A modern Fender padded gigbag is included.
