Fender’s Telecaster Thinline debuted in 1968, and early in 1969 the model was made available with custom-colored finishes on a special-order basis. Today, these custom-color Telecaster Thinlines are exceptionally rare, and one of the rarest among them is Canary Yellow.

This instrument is a local find, brought to our shop by its owner of the last nearly-40 years. It’s in stunning condition and is completely original but for a new switch (the original is in the case pocket) and an accurately rewound neck pickup. Finish and frets show very little wear, all hardware is original and in excellent working order, and the finish is untouched. The original bridge cover is even still on the guitar! This is indeed something of a unicorn amongst vintage Fender guitars.

Neck dated August 1969, pots dated 1966 (as was the norm through the late 1960s), bridge pickup dated September 1969. Pickup DC values are 5.75k (bridge) 5.7k (neck), and the guitar weighs 7.5 lbs.

The one-piece maple neck has a deep and round carve with a 1-5/8” nut. Playability is excellent, set up was just taken care of here at Folkway.

With original hardshell case.
