Fender says: The Fender American Elite
Telecaster Thinline, blends all the cosmetics of a traditional Telecaster
Thinline, along with cleverly infused modern tweaks that make it not only
incredibly versatile, but the only guitar you’ll ever want to play.
The 2016 Fender American Elite Thinline Telecaster at a glance:
- Lightweight
ash body, semi-hollow construction is incredibly loud and vibrant.
- The Elite Telecaster Thinline’s asymmetrical neck heel combined with the compound neck profile allows for effortless feel and stress-free playability
- Fender’s new 4th generation Noiseless pickups dazzle at blending dead-quiet operation with powerful twangy tones.
- Innovative S-1 switching system allows you to combine the pickups in all sorts of different ways, yielding contrasting sounds.
- Screwless mount suspension bridge with intonatable brass saddles increases string vibration, which results in more sustain and top end response.
- Comes with Fender Deluxe Molded Hardshell Case w/locking center latch

Outside of its lightweight ash body, semi-hollow construction and satin finish maple neck, just about everything
else on the Elite Telecaster Thinline is completely modified for feel and upgraded for performance and tone. Among
the many improvements include its’ perfectly carved, compound “C” neck shape that subtly tapers to a comfortable
“D” profile as you climb the neck, a 9.5−to 14-inch compound radius fingerboard that makes fretting out impossible,
and an asymmetrical neck heel that feels unobtrusive when playing in the upper register.
Other beneficial features are the guitar’s dual action truss rod with easy access spoke wheel, which makes adjusting
neck relief a no hassle affair, and the inclusion of short-post locking tuners. The Thinline also forgoes the traditional
tele bridge plate with a screwless mount suspension bridge with intonatable brass saddles for increased string
vibration, which results in more sustain and top end response, in addition to top loaded string changing. The guitar
features fourth generation Noiseless pickups combined with Fender’s popular S-1 switching (push-activated atop
the volume control), which engages series or parallel wiring options, master tone control and a three-position
switch.
