DESCRIPTION:

Originally conceived as a model that “could” have been made during the halcyon days of the early ’50s, Custom Shop Senior Master Builder, Chris Fleming, recently designed the Tele Thinline with many of the same features and materials found in early Nocaster guitars. The one major difference is its thinline, nitrocellulose-finished ash body complete with f-hole. We didn’t begin building thinline guitars until 1968. Additional features include a straight- grain, lightly tinted one-piece maple neck, Chris Fleming custom-wound pickups and vintage bridge.
