Fender ’72 Thinline Telecaster Reissue – Natural (2002, Made in Mexico)
This guitar is everything we love about vintage Fender vibes — with modern reliability and killer looks. Built in 2002 in Fender’s Mexico facility, this ’72 Thinline Tele Reissue channels the mojo of the original semi-hollow design from the early ‘70s. The natural ash body, pearly pickguard, and iconic Fender Wide Range Humbuckers complete the package — this thing is classy, punchy, and full of life.
The condition? Very good overall. There’s some light fret wear in the cowboy chord area, but nothing that affects playability — it still plays smooth and clear with low action and accurate intonation. The finish is clean and glossy, and from a few feet away, you’d swear it’s brand new. The neck is perfectly straight with just the right touch of relief, and there are no structural issues or funny business — just a great Tele, ready to rock.
And if you’re the type that wants it dialed in to perfection, we offer an optional fret level, crown, and polish for $150, which includes a full pro setup with your choice of string gauge and tuning. Just let us know at checkout.
If you’ve been waiting for a vintage-style Tele that stands out from the crowd — and delivers real performance — this is the one.
