Seller's description

FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO DRAGGIN' GUITARS in Lawrence KS with ANY questions, or to just chat about the guitar. Here is an absolute KILLER vintage 1971 Fender Telecaster Thinline in 3-color Sunburst finish with a rare Rosewood fingerboard.  This guitar was produced at the original Fender factory in Fullerton California, U.S.A.   The guitar has been set up, it is solid and ready to play-needs nothing.   The body is the familiar Telecaster silhouette with single cutaway and slab contour.  The F-hole provides a nice weight reduction and the body is made of Swamp ash, so it is very lightweight and comfortable.  The finish has a nice soft vintage shine to it with a really nice touch of patina here and there.  There is some rub wear through the finish on the edges of the sides-see photos.   The grain looks really cool through the translucent finish.  The red is bright and looks great-not faded out like so many Fenders from this era were.  It is prominent and looks just like a 60's Fender sunburst.  It is the original  nitrocellulose finish-which Fender continued to use alongside Poly for several years in the 1970's (the backside of the neck is poly, headstock is nitrocellulose).   There is some faint line checking here and there-see photos.  There is a touch up on the side of the body, underneath the neck. It blends in pretty good, but I thought it should be mentioned.   The pickguard is a replacement Fender unit which has been aged to match the era.  It looks really nice and correct.  The neck pickup position was routed for a hum bucker-but I'm not sure that project was ever competed.  It is a cosmetic, and underneath the pickguard so it can only be seen if the pickguard is removed.  The neck slot is a good fitment and nice neck angle.  Someone added a thin, factory-style trapezoid shim, not sure if it is necessary but the guitar plays so good that I left it in.  Overall-the guitar body looks really nice with a perfect vintage vibe. The neck is smooth and straight.  It h
