Up for sale, a 2024 Fender Heritage ‘60s Telecaster Thinline in near-mint condition, complete with hangtags. Sourced directly from Tokyo, this Heritage Series Telecaster was designed in conjunction with Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Mark Kendrick, using profiling data from Fender USA for vintage-spec body and neck profile carves. This top-tier Japanese Telecaster exceeds the quality of even Fender Japan's previous VSP series, standing toe to toe with Fender’s American Vintage offerings.

Offered only within Japan and to select international territories, the Heritage instruments are at the top of Fender Japan’s lineup, with this Telecaster faithfully capturing the specs of the original Thinline model, first introduced in 1968. Features include a gloss three-tone Sunburst lacquer finish that highlights the unique grain of the ash body, and a pair of Fender’s Premium Vintage-Style ‘60s single-coil pickups that yield a bouncy, sparkling sound at the bridge and a bell-like woody cut at the neck. This Heritage ‘60s Telecaster Thinline is lightweight at 6lbs 7oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
