Squier Vintage Modified '72 Tele Thinline Natural

Allmänt

Fender already make an American Vintage version as well as a more affordable Classic Series version of the semi-hollow seventies Telecaster and now Squier adds an even friendlier-priced model: the Vintage Modified '72 Tele Thinline. With two Fender Wide Range humbucker pickups and a white pearloid pickguard, this electric guitar is the spitting image of its more expensive Fender brothers. In addition to its classic looks, this Squier was bestowed with an exceptionally important feature: a 9.5-inch fretboard radius. This prevents the well-known buzz that usually goes with bending strings on a vintage-style convex fretboard.

Squier Vintage Modified '72 Tele Thinline: resonant body

A distinctive feature for this Telecaster Thinline is its natural-coloured ash body that is partially hollow and has an f-shaped sound hole. This 'sound chamber' increases the acoustic resonance of this guitar, giving it a more open, clearer sound. The sparkling trebles are also emphasised by the one-piece neck and the Wide Range pickups as they produce the rich, clear, clean sound of single-coils in addition to the warmth and output of humbuckers. Thanks to the vintage-style strings-through-body bridge, the Squier Vintage Modified '72 Tele Thinline is equipped with an extra dose of attack and sustain.

The Squier brand

Ever since Fender introduced their first electric guitar in the fifties, many competing manufacturers have produced cheap imitations of varying quality. To offer the same reliability, sound and playability of the original at a reasonable price, Fender started a subsidiary in 1982: Squier (not to be confused with the Fender Esquire). Squier's guitars and bass guitars are built under supervision and to specifications of Fender itself, so that you can rely on the fact that you are purchasing an authentic, high-quality instrument.
