Here at Mixdown, we’re suckers for Telecasters, and there’s nothing that catches our eye more than a Thinline Telecaster. Fender have given this newbie a ’60s aesthetic with its Sunburst finish and standard pickup configuration, which reminds me a lot of the model favoured by Curtis Mayfield in the late ’60s and early ’70s. Give it a listen below.
There’s also the new American Original ’70s Telecaster Custom, which actually features a geniune CuNiFe magnet-powered Wide Range humbucker, just like the original models. It’s the first time Fender have used a genuine CuNiFe humbucker in over 40 years, and it sounds incredible – we were totally blown away when we reviewed it recently. Check it out here, and keep your eyes peeled for our review soon.
Head to Fender to find out more about both models today.
