Tell ya what... I'm gonna' do you a favor and rate it a 1, or maybe a 1.5.Originally Posted by MAXIFUNK
There, now you can sleep tonight, knowing that you didn't miss out!
OK, seriously, if you have been Jones'in for a Thinline, this would be a really good way to go. I can't think of anything I'd change, unless you like brass saddles over the stock chrome ones, or maybe if it had a tinted neck. The Alnico V's pickups had all the Tele goodness without being too wimpy or brittle. I really didn't want to put her down and leave the store.
Price 10 (so much quality for so little money, well good luck with your willpower)
Quality 9 (The neck/fret board was near-perfect and everything, including the knobs and tuners were solid, with no blemishes in the finish)
Sound 9 (I loved the acoustic volume I got just tuning it)
Appearance 9 (This guitar makes my top 5 Tele's as far as looks. My number 1 is the Merle Haggard Signature, 2nd or 3rd is between the 1950s Telecaster Thinline NOS or many the 3-Color Sunburst Tele's, and the red Jim Adkins JA-90 is maybe 4th)
So, what are you gonna' call your new Thinline?

Are thinlines really semi-hollow? I thought that they just had a chamber under the f-hole and were not hollowed out on the treble side. Maybe this is a matter of sematics.
Can you get one to sound like a 335?
I pick a moon dog.

I doubt it 335 has much more body and air and humbuckers.
I am just hoping for some type of semi-hollow sound and vibe with the classic tele tone.
