Fender Classic Series '69 Telecaster Thinline 3-Color Sunburst

The semi-hollow-body design was originally an attempt to reduce the weight of the solid-body Telecaster guitar; the f-hole being the most apparent visual clue to its construction. With its reshaped pickguard, the ’69 Telecaster Thinline is a lightweight addition to the Tele family, but with heavyweight feel and tone.
