The semi-hollow construction of the Thinline yields audible differences, too. Still, the natural blonde poly finish is beautiful and marks a lovely visual link between the first blackguard Telecaster and this more deconstructed variation on the form. As a consequence, the grain in the two sections that make up our review guitar are less than ideally matched. Because boring beetles have endangered ash trees, visually perfect specimens of the wood are in short supply these days.
On the new American Vintage II version, the ash body is fashioned from two solid sections of ash glued together at the guitar’s center line. To create the lighter, semi-hollow Thinline, Rossmeisl adopted the construction technique he developed for Rickenbacker: routing acoustic chambers from a solid section of ash, and then capping the back of the guitar with a thinner section of wood.

The first Telecaster Thinline, which appeared in 1969, was hatched from the mind by Roger Rossmeisl, who famously designed Rickenbacker’s 300 series guitars, among others, before moving to Fender and conceiving the Coronado, Montego, and the company’s mid-’60s acoustic line. Pickups were not the only deviation from design norms that distinguished the ’72 Thinline. They will be available from Electra Guitars Authorized Dealers, and start shipping in November.
