Fender Deluxe Telecaster Thinline Candy Apple Red, Maple Overview

Fender Product Overview

Light in weight, but not sound, the Deluxe Telecaster Thinline is crafted with timelessly elegant style and authentic Fender tone. Crisp and articulate, with a versatile voice that cuts through a busy mix, this stage-tested design is the ideal combination of modern features and traditional aesthetics. With a little bit of extra ‘magic’ up its sleeve, this instrument is as flexible as it is distinctly stylish.

Two noise-free, highly articulate Vintage Noiseless Tele pickups produce rich, detailed tone, with the balanced string response, definition and twang you’ve come to expect from a Tele. The semi-hollow construction imparts seductively warm overtones to the traditional Tele sound, creating a slightly throatier voice. Four-way switching adds an exciting dimension to the traditional Tele pickup combinations—position four combines the bridge and neck pickups in series for hotter output and punchier midrange. Enjoy increased sustain and slightly thicker tone that complements the famous Tele twang, thanks to the modern six-saddle sting-through-body bridge with block saddles. A contoured neck heel and 4-bolt asymmetrical neck plate make it easy to comfortably reach the upper registers of the neck. The flatter 12"-radius fingerboard makes it easy to play fast leads and perform deep bends without fretting out. Locking short-post tuning machines with vintage-style buttons provide increased break angle at the nut for buzz-free playing and enhanced tuning stability, along with quicker string changes.

Classic aesthetic touches include nickel/chrome hardware and a four-ply aged white pearloid pickguard, along with knurled flat-top control knobs and a black switch tip. For players who want classic Fender semi-hollowbody tone with a bit of edge, the Deluxe Telecaster Thinline is ready to step up with its modern features and authentic style.

Feels really light (nice contrast to solid body electrics), arrived (mail order) in great shape- all electrics in full working order, nice medium action. Fantastic tone - really happy with this. Got great advice from the team at GAK- highly recommend them.

Great guitar, visually stunning and fault free but badly let down with too much noise from the electric side of things. Tried two examples, the second one was better but still not live-able with so went for something else (which was no problem for the GAK member of staff I was dealing with).

Great looking guitar in perfect visual condition and one of the best set ups of a guitar I have seen out of the box. However the electrics were all over the place - an earthing type hum (from noiseless pups!?) which I could not get rid of unless I turned the tone control fully clockwise. The output of the guitar was very low and the four way switch was not working properly. GAK were apologetic and have now arranged to collect the guitar and send a new one. Fingers crossed as I want to use this tele for the NYE gig.
