Just Acquired A New Tele -- What Color Is It?
Hey all

I just acquired a new Tele, and I'm wanting to see if you guys can confirm what color it is. It's a 2000 '69 RI (I believe it's a'69 RI). I'm thinking this might be Olympic White, maybe? Can you tell form this pic?

Thanks, all! This is now confirmed to be a Fender 60th Anniversary Modern Thinline Telecaster. I appreciate the help!




Thanks!
Maury

Doubtful it's a reissue - it appears to have a modern US Standard style bridge and a tortie guard, modern logo and possibly modern tuners (can't see too clearly on my phone screen). And the US made Thinline reissues haven't been in production for very long. I'm sure I remember seeing a US made Thinline in the Fender lineup not so long ago. Not answering your question, but hopefully helpful info all the same!

I can't really tell from the pic, but if you want to send it to me, I'll check it out. I might even play it and store it in my house for you. I'm sure we can work something out.

Seriously, that is a sweet looking thinline.

True that -- I've messaged the guy I bought it from to see if I can get a confirmation.

Lighting always has some effect on shades. Might be Olympic White Pearl.

Oly white that's aged a bit or maybe Vintage White.
