Fender Limited Edition Parallel Universe Series Deluxe Thinline Super Telecaster 2018 - Orange

Fender Limited Edition Parallel Universe Telecaster Thinline Super Deluxe, Orange Nitro, TV Jones Classics, ~6.5 lbs

Here is a very cool and limited Fender Parallel Universe Telecaster Thinline Super Deluxe from 2018, finished in a gorgeous high-gloss Orange nitrocellulose lacquer with a silver sparkle plexi pickguard.

This is one of those Fender oddballs that actually works beautifully. It takes the familiar Telecaster platform and mixes in a little Gretsch-style attitude, with semi-hollow resonance, TV Jones Classic humbuckers, pearloid block inlays, double binding, and just enough 1970s flair to make it stand out without feeling over the top. The result is a lightweight, lively, great-looking guitar with plenty of personality.

At around 6.5 lbs, this one is extremely comfortable to play and has that open, airy response you want from a semi-hollow Thinline-style guitar. The alder body with bound mahogany top gives it a nice mix of snap, warmth, and resonance, while the dual TV Jones Classic humbuckers add chime, bite, and clarity. It still feels like a Fender, but with a little extra sparkle and growl that puts it somewhere between Tele snap and Gretsch-style punch.

The bass-cut tone control is a nice touch. Instead of simply rolling off highs like a standard tone knob, it lets you tighten up the low end, which is especially useful with the TV Jones pickups. You can keep things full and rich, or lean it out for more cut and definition.

The American Professional “Deep C” maple neck feels smooth and comfortable, with a 9.5” radius rosewood fingerboard, 21 narrow-tall frets, and pearloid block inlays. The gloss-matched headstock ties the whole look together and gives the guitar a finished, custom-shop-adjacent feel.

Features include:

• Semi-hollow alder body with classic f-hole
• Bound mahogany top with double-white binding
• High-gloss Orange nitrocellulose lacquer finish
• Silver sparkle plexi pickguard
• American Professional “Deep C” maple neck
• Gloss-matched headstock
• Rosewood fingerboard with 9.5” radius
• 21 narrow-tall frets
• Pearloid block inlays
• Dual TV Jones Classic humbuckers
• Master volume, 3-way pickup selector, and bass-cut tone control
• Strings-thru-body American Professional Tele Deluxe hardtail bridge
• Deluxe staggered tuners
• Extremely lightweight, approximately 6.5 lbs

Tonally, this guitar is resonant, punchy, clear, and very fun to play. It handles clean tones beautifully, with plenty of sparkle and acoustic-like openness, but it also takes gain really well. The TV Jones Classics keep things articulate even when pushed, so chords stay clear and leads have a focused bite.

This is a great choice for someone who wants something Fender-made, limited, lightweight, and genuinely different. It has vintage-inspired style, modern playability, and enough personality to stand apart from the usual Telecaster crowd.
