Fender Custom Shop 50's Thinline Telecaster in Aged Violin Burst

Thin as it Gets

If you have ever been on the fence about a thin line, now is the time to jump right off and into the arms of this outstanding piece of craftsmanship. I do not want to waste any time so let's go right to how unbelievably light this piece is. We have not played a lighter, more acoustically resonant, and gorgeous piece in ages here at Casino.

This Telecaster is the perfect entry for your first semi-hollow or one more diamond to add to the mix if you have already played within this world. We are often asked about what these do differently and this piece is the perfect example of that sonically. She delivers the classic tones of a Tele but eventuates the highs and lows a bit and also delivers a slightly "woodier" and "airy" tone as well. 

Patterned with a classic '57 hand carved neck, this platform delivers one of the more fun playing experiences we have had in awhile as well. Not only is the neck amazing but paired with the feather light weight there is a continuous smile on your face as you run her through her paces. 

The pups give you that classic 50's bridge tone paired with a little heat and warmth in the neck to make the perfect combo. The Texas Special isn't the most popular tele pickup for no reason...she delivers here more than a description can say.
So if you are even contemplating a thinline Telecaster, contemplate no more. She is here and she is ready to knock your guitar playing socks off!
