1971 Fender Telecaster Thinline for sale. 53 year old beauty that has been well serviced and maintained over half a century. 1971 was major year in music and has an 8-part series on Apple TV "1971: The Year Music Changed Everything." David Bowie famously said, "We were creating the 21st century in 1971." The New York Times has noted: "In 1971, Marvin Gaye was transforming the protest song with the sublime “What’s Going On”; the Rolling Stones were hammering away on their raw classic “Exile on Main St.” in a rented villa in the South of France; Aretha Franklin was showing her public solidarity with the incarcerated Black activist Angela Davis; and David Bowie was writing the book on rock ’n’ roll androgyny. It was also a remarkable coming-out year for female artists. Carole King, who split with her husband and songwriting partner, Gerry Goffin, in 1968, released “Tapestry” in 1971, and Joni Mitchell put out “Blue,” after the end of her relationship with Graham Nash.

We think this '71 Telecaster carries on the spirit of change that year brought to the music industry and the rest of the world. The Thinline model is such a light and versatile instrument...a delight for anyone with a bad back or shoulder and a nimble partner for anyone playing long sets on stage.
