Amazing Korean build quality - Its based on the 68 USA Thinline Telecaster but the body, as you
can see, is Bound on one side . . . Not too many around in this condition. Great Telecaster, plays
well & sounds well . .

These were only made for a limited amount of time and then Fender USA stopped production as sales
rivalled the USA Thinline Models so the story goes . . . 

Its got a brand new Tonerider Hot Classic Bridge Pickup which sounds absolutely amazing and its
paired with a cheeky little Artec Fat Slug in the Neck, together and individually they both sound way
above their price point.  Its also fitted with a "Home of Tone" Wiring Loom . . . 


Comes with a Fender Deluxe Gig Bag. Plenty of information about these on the NET . . .

Local pickup from OL2 7QT for £400 or I have a box and will pack it up like a kipper for your Courier.


Id just like to point out that, despite all the video and DNA evidence, it genuinely wasn't me, your Honour  !

  • Hi there --it looks gorgeous even though I don't usually like gold hardware!  Just a few questions please:

    Is the poly finish as thick and gloopy as on the Squier Classic Vibe natural thinlines? (I realise that might be difficult to answer ...)

    How would you describe the neck? I have a Squire Classic Vibe 50's and I would ideally like something thicker than that

    Is the discoloration on the fretboard from wear and tear or something else?

    Thanks for your time --looking forward to the replies

    I used to own one... They are fabulous guitars.. I think some of the tinternet stories are a bit OTT, but it certainly holds it's own and punches well above it's weight.

    I'd agree with that :-)

    Build quality is great on this one, definitely as good as the Japanese Fenders I've owned in the past and equally as good as the USA Telecaster I also own but, from memory, Korean made Fenders and Japanese Fenders too had quite poor wiring . . .

    This one is lovely as it has a decent Home of Tone Wiring Loom . . . I suppose a purist would change out the neck pickup but, honestly, as cheap as they are, they are a surprisingly good pickup . . . The bridge pickup is a Tonerider Hot Classic and I just love them . . . Ive had quite a few Tonerider Pickups over the years and I haven't ever had a bad word to say about them . .  

    All that said, It's on the chopping block as I have my eye on something special and I need to make some sacrifices :-(

  • Just a quick post to say I bought the guitar, it has just arrived and I couldn't be happier.  I even got a free strap.  The whole process was really easy with plenty of communication.  Thank you again!
