Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The 3-Color Sunburst American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline is a right-handed, semi-hollow ash electric guitar with a lighter body than a traditional solidbody. Two Authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range humbuckers feed a three-way blade switch, with master volume and master tone controls keeping the control layout direct. Its one-piece maple neck and maple fingerboard use a C-shaped profile, 7.25-inch radius, and 21 vintage-tall frets. A chrome bridge cover and a vintage-style black case with orange interior are included.
