Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline (Aged Natural) is a right-handed six-string electric guitar. It combines a recognisable body shape, 25.5" (648 mm) scale and HH pickup layout. The Aged Natural finish highlights the body contours and identifies this version in the SoundsGood catalogue.
Body, neck and playing feel
The body uses Semi-Hollow Ash, the neck is 1-Piece Maple and the fingerboard is Maple. A 1972 "C" profile shapes the feel in your hand. The 25.5" (648 mm) scale provides familiar fret spacing for chords, riffs and lead passages.
The fingerboard has a 7.25" (184.1 mm) radius, 21 Vintage Tall frets and a 1.650" (42 mm) nut width. These dimensions help you compare finger spacing, bending feel and the transition between lower and upper positions.
The semi-hollow ash body features an f-hole and two CuNiFe Wide Range humbuckers. A three-bolt neck joint with Micro-Tilt, Bullet truss-rod nut and 1972 C neck profile reproduce key details of this period of Thinline construction.
Pickups and sound controls
The neck pickup is a Authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range Humbucking and the bridge pickup is a Authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range Humbucking. Pickup positions let you compare a rounder neck voice with a more defined bridge attack.
Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone. The selector chooses individual pickups and their combinations. Adjusting volume and picking strength helps you balance accompaniment and lead passages.
Bridge and hardware
The bridge is a Pure Vintage 6-Saddle String-Through Body Hardtail with Bent Steel Saddles. Tuning machines: Pure Vintage Fender “F” Stamped. The saddles allow action and intonation adjustments to suit the string gauge and playing approach.
Included: Vintage-Style Black (Orange Interior).
