truss rod for seasonal changes will require taking the 4-bolt neck off since the adjustment nut is at the bottom of the neck – like the original ‘ 60 ’ s models .
The 3-barrel slotted steel bridge saddles sound great tonally , but they are not compensated so some guitarists might want to update those for better intonation . The Vintage Tall frets make chording and bending strings on this 21-fret maple neck a breeze . Fender Vintage F style tuners are accurate , look great and make string changing simple thanks to the center hole in the middle of each tuning post . The knurled control knobs , for volume & tone , and top hat for the 3-blade pickup selector deliver the vintage aesthetics you expect from a Fender . Even though the Vintera II Thinline is Semi-Hollow , it has a lot of sustain thanks to the traditional stringsthrough- body Telecaster configuration .
This Fender guitar provides the vintage look , sound , and vibe in a more dependable and cost-effective price point . The current price for the Vintera II Thinline Telecaster is $ 1,299.99 , which is much cheaper than an original will set you back . It also includes a Fender gig bag . This thinline has enough tonal options to fit in between the other instruments in your Praise team or Worship band , but it has enough bite to bring out your solos or signature song riffs . Fit and finish on the guitar tested were spotless and did we mention that it is much lighter than many of Telecasters you might be considering ? If a Thinline has been on your wish list , then the new Vintera II Thinline Telecaster should be on your list of options .
