I Love My Thinline Telecaster

I have acquired several guitars over the years and my favorite one was always my Telecaster Thinline. There is no doubt that Fender puts out a big guitar, and this one is no exception. If you ever have the chance to try one out, you will also love the sound and feel of this vintage works!

A Telecaster is a Thinline semi-hollow body version of the Fender Telecaster, which is characterized by f-shaped holes and reshaped pickguard. It originated as an attempt to create a lighter weight guitar in the 60’s when the light ash wood supply begins to decline.

There are two versions created, version ‘69 Telecaster that has two pickups and mahogany body and the ‘72 version which has two large Fender pickups and marsh solid natural ash body.

I loved the ‘72 version. This feature semi-hollow ash body, C-shaped maple

neck and bullet truss rod, a Start bridge, three-bolt neck plate and a couple of humbucking pickups. It also features the f-shaped holes to provide a warmer and more rounded sound than the other Telecaster. Obviously meatier sound than the original classic version. The humbuckers provide tone big stadium rock concert. In fact, my friends always egging me to exchange the guitar and then when we gathered to play a few songs. When Fender Telecaster came out with the original, they are really something. Then they came out with these reissues, and after examining them, I really liked the feel but I’m a bit doubtful to make the purchase at first because it never seems good reissues. I must admit, I was a bit skeptical about the micro-sloping neck, with 3 screws to secure it, but really, great neck action. Semi-hollow tone of voice has a distinctive and very good for blues, country and alternative rock music. In fact, the sound is where this guitar really shines. This is a versatile and diverse in the bridge is fantastic. This guitar plays very smoothly and the songs better.

For durability, this Tele is built strong and can hold up to the heaviest heavy metal acts. The skill is excellent. The only complaint, (and one I’ve heard from owners of other Thinline Telecaster), is this guitar has many good effects if you change the volume outside the 250k to 500k pots. The end result is like glass, with a strong poly finish that holds up to the most difficult actions. My friend accidentally dropped a cymbal on top and did not even make a dent. I was relieved and surprised! I have a Natural Maple finish and I love the way that the wood grain show through. I also like pearloid pickguard, which made him look great classical guitar.

Section is solid, which is something important, especially in the reissues. I like how clean the bridge pickup weight or even picking string skipping, and then I want to throw it in the neck position of solo blues or jazz / blues rhythm. This gives a lot of flexibility for a variety of musical genres.
