1972 was a very big year for the Telecaster. It was available in designs with more options than ever before.

The Classic Series '72 Telecaster Thinline has the dual humbucking pickup configuration introduced that yea, with other features that include:

- a semi hollow ash body with F hole,
- "U" shaped maple neck with bullet truss rod nut,
- three bolt neck plate with micro tilt adjustment,
- maple fretboard,
- vintage style string through body hard tail bridge,
- vintage style tuners.

The Classic Series Thinline Telecaster was available in two finishes, 3 colour sunburst and natural. 

I was able to pick up a very clean almost NOS used guitar from my good friends at Sound Affects Premier in Ormskirk.

In 2019 the Classic series was replaced by the Vintera Series.

As well as natural the guitar also comes in 3 colour sunburst also with a one piece maple neck and fingerboard
