Fender's iconic instruments such the Telecaster®, are known the world over as the instruments that started the rock revolution, and they continue to be highly prized among today's hottest guitarists and collectors alike. Notable Telecaster® players include Muddy Waters; Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones; Jimmy Page (on Led Zeppelin's studio recordings); Andy Summers of the Police; Jonny Greenwood, Thom Yorke and Ed O'Brien of Radiohead; Prince; Bruce Springsteen; Roy Buchanan; and The Edge of U2 has also begun to use a Telecaster on a regular basis.1972 was a magical year for the Telecaster guitar. With several new designs, the Telecaster guitar was available with more options than ever before. The '72 Tele® Thinline features a warmer and rounder, semi-hollow ash body, "U"-shape maple neck, Bullet® truss rod, '70s vintage hardtail strings-through Strat® bridge, three-bolt neckplate, and two Fender "Wide Range" humbucking pickups.

I have 8 guitars, and this is 2nd only to my Gibson Sg 61, and that cost about a 1,000 more. Buy it now, before the price goes up.

About 4 years ago I was unhappy with my guitar "tone".October 9, 2008 Music Background: 20+ years writing and recording music I went on a mission to find the perfect guitar.

I play this guitar through a Fender tube amp and love the results. The laminate maple frets are so smooth and fast, it almost plays itself. Is this the "perfect" guitar? I don't know, but it sure works for me. I would recommend this guitar for blues and jazz. close [-] Double Tone

This is often my main guitar ( when I'm not playing my Gibson LP) and it is really nicely done.

I've seen many and tried them, but mine seems to be set up way better - my action is insanely low, and my neck is absolutely straight, making it great for fast runs up and down the neck. The sound is somewhere different than your standard tele due to the big wide humbuckers, but a little twang is still accessible. What I love is the neck pickup, with the tone knob set back to the middle, and run into a clean Fender tube amp. MMMM...thick, warm, sounds. Overall, check around to find a good model, and then buy it. Then figure out a solution for that ugly white pearloid... close [-]
