Hands down one of my favorite thinline Teles, super light, twangy, bell tones and downright beautiful with a knotty pine top and roasted body, flame maple neck and shell and rope purfling. Stunning. This one is particularly cool as the wood figure resembles an owl.
Whoooo is going to scoop up this one? Fender sez:
The Limited Edition Knotty Pine Tele® Thinline features a combination of the finest hand-selected woods, custom components and master craftsmanship only found in the Fender Custom Shop. A chambered and roasted pine body and knotty pine top with f-hole deliver steadfast tone with enduring resonance, all with the exquisite look of brown-shell top binding and rope purfling. A roasted 2A birdseye maple neck with round-lam rosewood fingerboard features a ’60-style oval “C” back-shape, 9.5” fingerboard radius and 21 narrow tall frets.
Hand-wound Loaded Nocaster pickups feature three-way switching and Fat ’50s Tele® wiring, which creates stronger tone with a transparent bloom and minimizes treble loss that typically occurs when rolling back volume. Other features include a brown-shell Caballo Tono pickguard, ’58-’63 Tele bridge with compensated RSD saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and a wing string tree. Also includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
