1972 was a magical year for the Telecaster® guitar, which was then available in several new designs and with more options than ever before.
The ’72 Telecaster Thinline features a warmer and rounder semi-hollow ash body, a C-shaped maple neck, bullet truss rod, ’70s vintage hardtail strings-through Strat® bridge, three-bolt neckplate and two Wide Range humbucking pickups.
