Overview

The Fender American Elite Telecaster Thinline, seen here in a beautifully sparkling Champagne finish and Maple fretboard combination provides incredible style with tone to match.

Hot-Rodded Semi-Hollow Guitar

To ensure the perfect semi-hollow guitar for the modern guitarist, when it came to designing the American Elite Telecaster Thinline, Fender focused on bringing in some fantastic innovations.

Innovation of an Absolute Icon

Fender have designed the American Elite Telecaster Thinline to be the go-to work horse for the modern guitarist and as such it had to be a versatile guitar.

Building on the legacy of the well-loved Fender Telecaster, the Telecaster Thinline is incredibly flexible tone. With cutting edge technology and classic Fender style complementing each other perfectly, the Telecaster Thinline is easy to play and sounds great.

Part of the new design that makes the Fender American Elite series extremely playable is the all-new American Elite neck and neck heel.

A new compound neck profile provides ultimate comfort and extreme playability. Starting with a modern “C” shape at the nut, gradually becoming a modern “D” shaped profile – this neck is easier, more comfortable and more fun to play than ever before.

The 9.5” – 14” compound radius fretboard shapes the playing area nicely for improved riffing and chording at the low end of the fretboard while lead work and solos are easier than ever towards the higher frets.

An updated neck heel smoothly blends into the neck volute to provide enhanced ergonomic support and an a more comfortable feel while playing.

Enhanced Electronics with S-1 Switch

Fender American Elite Telecaster Thinlines make use of the all-new 4th generation Noiseless pickups that are actually exclusive to the American Elite Series. These incredible pickups give you the classic style of a single coil pickup but with none of the drawbacks such as hum, buzz and other unwanted noise.

At the cutting edge of Fender’s pickup designs, the 4th gen Noiseless pickups offer incredibly diverse sonic performance from crisp and clear cleans to huge overdriven tones for that full rock flavour.

For further tonal control, the Fender American Elite Telecaster Thinline makes use of the innovative S-1 switch that allows you to switch between alternate wiring options at the push of a button.

The Fender S-1 Switch is discreetly situated as a button on the volume control knob offering mid-play tonal adjustments with a quick tap.

Adjust your overall voice with a volume control and tone control coming in the form of knurled flat-top control knobs for that retro look and ease of use.

High End Hardware

Living up to the name of “American Elite”, the Telecaster Thinline has a number of premium appointments.

A new double action truss rod adjustment wheel makes it extremely easy to adjust the neck relief without the need for any special tools.

On the body of the Fender American Elite Telecaster Thinline, you’ll find a brand-new suspension bridge utilising a screwless mount which increases vibration transfer so you get significantly improved sustain and incredible response. As a tribute to the legends of Fender’s history, this new Suspension Bridge design retains the classic brass three-barrel design.

At the headstock, you’ll find newly designed locking short-post tuning machines that help with easy and fast re-stringing and improve playability. They also provide an increased break angle at the nut and improve tuning stability.

To sweeten the deal, the Fender American Elite Stratocaster even comes with a redesigned ABS Elite Moulded Case with TSA approved locks so you can transport your new instrument in full confidence that it is completely protected; even when going by plane.
