[FelipeSchmitzS]

cool

[REX05011]

can it be played like acoustically cuz im looking for a semi hollow body guitar and this is one of the cheapest i can find

[JWDalsager]

@REX05011

There's not nearly enough sound in it for that.

[REX05011]

@JWDalsager lol yea i figured that out played it only heard it a tiny bit

[davidkahan]

no sugar thanks

1978 AND 1979 were two great year's of the 70's for rock n roll and the Fender guitar!

The new Thinlines are good. I almost bought one. Now that Lollar and some other guys are building or 'spec-ing those Wide-Range pickups, it is more than possible some of these out-perform the later vintage originals. Some of the late '70s specimens are junk (does Fender make an American Thinline reissue?)

Hey man nice playing!

I'm considering buying one 72 thinline, but instead of using the fender humbuckers I'm considering putting some Gibson 57 pickups, will this work????

Thanks

[birdiejoehoaks]

@andrew4773 youll need a converter kit because the wide band pickups are bigger than normal humbuckers.

[ShapeShiftTheWorld]

@andrew4773 definately, just buy a pickguard that fits humbuckers

[MegaJimmmmm]

Hey man, nice playing :), do you how this compares to the 72' thinline reissue?

[GregsGuitars]

Fatter sounding

[WTig3r]

where is part 2?

[GregsGuitars]

check Fender Telecaster Thinline 1978 clean

[bonasignalen]

Now that´s the best sound I heard of all your guitars on display here! Very nice twangy playing,

thanks

[Lloydikins]

I have one of these, and I reckon it's got a great sound for jazz/fusion. To be honest it's not a beatifully finished guitar, (typical 70's Fender?) but I love the sound of it. I haven't played another guitar that I can get that mellow-yet-bright sound from.

Hey all you noobs who think a modern thinline is a good guitar , listen to this . This is what a real fender widerange sounds like .

[Seaannn1]

@peterm3964

That doesn't mean new Thinlines aren't good guitars.

[fendermytc90]

Hi Greg, do you know what pots are fitted 500k?

[GregsGuitars]

I think so

[Seaannn1]

@fendermytc90 1 meg on the original Thinlines. 250k on the MIM RI, 500k on the MIJ RI.

[fendermytc90]

Nice sound, Thinline Teles are so good, do you ever play in France?

[superskwrl]

sounds like awesome elevator music or world fusion

[wisesatyr72]

very cool fusion jazz sound

[baconstealer1]
