Review Fender Thinline Telecaster
 
 
 

Review by a visitor on 7.8.2004




72 Tele .I bought it in Guelph,Ont in 1983 for $500.

 
 
  Features  
 
Mother of pearl inlay on neck and pickgaurd. Black body with some great lookinnull wear marks. Frets need replacing but waiting till it absolutely needs it.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
I play mostly blues. country and classic rock so its sound works well with those genres. Have tried metal and hard rock but somehow lacks that sound. Excellent tone and soul for the blues!!
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
Noise free, tone is beautiful from warm and rich to twang and screech. Inullm sure there are faster playing necks but....
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
This baby is rock solid. I gig 1-2 times a month and it stands the test. Intonation once every five years. Have replaced switch cap and saddles twice.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
This axe has been with me for a long time so I have a biased opinion. Itnulls an awesome guitar. I play thru a Fender Blues Deluxe and they feed off each other. The clean sound of the Tele will retune your eardrums. If I could find a null72 with a whammy, theynulld be a great team!!!
P.S. I just the Thinline tatooed on my back about 4" long!!!

paid $1500.00aus. worth every cent.

hollow in body,wow! that really adds to the sound of this guitar. body comes alive on neck pickup solos. twin fender hummbucker pickups,very well balanced from neck to bridge position.

Sam Ash
$700
Blue (in case you were wondering)

 
 
  Features  
 
Semi-hollow
MicroTilt neck
Wide range humbuckers
F-hole
Great sound and handling although the neck is a little wider than most.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
This guitar is definatly fun to play because it is so smooth. A wonderful guitar for playing with your friends.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
This guitar, quite possibly, has the best sound I have ever heard. If your all about a crisp sound, this is your guitar.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
Very good sound.
Light enough to carry around from place to place.
A little too fragile.
Great for short sets but I donnullt think it could last a long, heavy shredding.
Mainly just for practices, mellow stuff and showing it off nullcause this is one good lookin guitar.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
I love this guitar but itnulls a little to seriouse for me.
