1975 Fender Telecaster Thinline Vintage Semi-Hollow Guitar Natural Ash w/ Seth Lover-Designed CuNiFe Wide Range, Case
1975 Fender Telecaster Thinline Vintage Semi-Hollow Guitar Natural Ash w/ Seth Lover-Designed CuNiFe Wide Range, Case
Up for sale, a 1975 Fender Telecaster Thinline in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. 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.
The ash body offers ample midrange detail and punch, complemented by the smooth, broad 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 most clear, powerful, and rich 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. A discreet push/pull global Coil Tap has also been added at the Tone control, with a couple new leads extending from the original windings on each humbucker, enabling single coil sparkle and spank. Weighing 7lbs 15oz, this Telecaster Thinline benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
