Up for sale, a 2004 Fender Telecaster Thinline '70 vintage reissue electric guitar in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Made in Japan, this is one of the rarer Tele models from Fender Japan and a sparingly played, near mint example. The Thinline model features a semi-hollow mahogany body, with a feel and tonal characteristics that truly capture the spirit and sound of a genuine vintage example. There's plenty of the Tele's traditional bite, twang, and clarity on tap, as well as a warmth and smooth attack due to the body wood and semi-hollow construction. This Tele will growl and cut like few can, while being extremely easy on the back at only 6lbs 10oz. Professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, this Thinline has been restrung with 10-46 strings and dialed in for optimal action and intonation.

The maple neck features a smooth gloss finish, medium C shaped profile, and consistent depth as you move up the fretboard. The maple board has a vintage 7 1/4" radius, with slender fretwire that's practically perfect with well rounded crowns. Notes ring out clearly in all positions and the guitar plays well with comfortable, slinky action. The nut measures 1 5/8" in width. On the headstock, the original Kluson-style tuning machines turn smoothly and the era-correct block Tele logo is present as well (minus the "Thinline" text which only appeared on later iterations).

All of the electronics work as they should, with a Master Volume and Tone control as well as a three-way pickup selector switch. The electronics are untouched and all of the stock hardware is accounted for as well including the near mint white pearloid pickguard, pat. pending bridge with aluminum saddles, knurled chrome barrel knobs, and "top hat" black switch tip. The deep brown transparent finish on the mahogany body is extremely well-kept, showing only a few faint finish scratches in the clear coat on the back.

The original gigbag is included.
