• Great guitar, well made, super sound

  
  As reviewed by JON PLESCE on 10/5/2006

  This guitar is the real deal. Very well made, no flaws at all on the beautiful natural ash finish. It came perfectly set-up right out of the box which shocked me. The sound is the best part, it's more versatile than any single coil tele., yet still gives enough tone for you country players. The neck pickup gives a sweet Les Paul type smooth sound. The maple neck is very easy to play, with great action, and very smooth. If you can't play this guitar, give back the money you spent on lessons. I have a Gibson SG which is my favorite guitar in my collection but this is now 2nd. The sound is much more rounded than a single coil pickup tele, plays any kind of music, and it's a Fender so it should last forever. And the most important thing is the value, for this price you will not find a more versatile guitar as well made, and with such a beautiful appearance. By the way it also records very well. I have a 16-track studio, and this is just as good as my 61 SG. Anyone out there who writes lyrics to rock-pop-blues songs, and would like to write them for my music please contact me at plescejj@ptd.net. thanks

• Well Rounded Telecaster

  
  As reviewed by Drewrevolution on 10/18/2006

  The Telecaster 72 Thinline is a great guitar to have in your collection. It has that tele tone you're looking for, but is also able to switch and have a different, fuller sounding tone as well. It's definitely one of the more versitile telecasters you can get because of the hollowbody giving it a warmer feel, while keeping it's twang. Love it. Definitely a great purchase!

• Decent Tele with Awful Pickups

  
  As reviewed by Scott on 4/23/2007

  The Thinline Telecaster looks pretty cool on initial inspection, but after plugging it in to a few amps I set it back down and walked away. Its very playable, with nice neckwork and an excellent body, but the Humbuckers used here just don't suite the guitar. It reminds me of an Epiphone Les Paul Standard in that regard - just a kind of mushy, not very dynamic, ho-hum sound. Replace the pickups and it'll probably scream, but personally, I'm happier using my Nashville American Telecaster in middle/bridge for a better tone along the same lines.
