Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline pairs a semi-hollow ash body with two Authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range humbuckers. Use the three-way blade switch to call up either pickup alone or both together, then shape the result with master volume and tone controls. The one-piece maple C-shaped neck carries a 7.25-inch-radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage-tall frets. Its fixed six-saddle string-through-body bridge and supplied vintage-style black case complete a clearly period-directed package.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players wanting individual or combined Wide-Range humbucker settings in a semi-hollow Telecaster Thinline format.
- Taking the guitar to rehearsals or sessions with its included vintage-style black case.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need more than 21 frets.
- Players looking for a tremolo-equipped guitar; this model has a fixed hardtail bridge.
