Fender Review: 72 Telecaster Thinline

History:

Purchase: At one time I owned a MIJ model and I really missed it so while in Iraq I saved my money, went on leave and it was waiting for me back home at the Music store.

What I Like About This Fender 72 Telecaster Thinline: it had a beautiful finish and you know that 70s appeal the tone is good at one time I owened a Lespaul standard and I had to tune it everyday but the 72 reissue that was leaning aganist the wall was always dead on

What I Do NOT Like About The Fender 72 Telecaster Thinline: So while in Iraq i,m drooling for this guitar waiting for that crowning moment when I would walk through the doors of the music shop and get my Guitar ,first thing sloppy neck pocket very disapointed you could slide a thin pick right down in there, and when I tried it out the bridge pickup did not work so the store checked it out and it was dead can you imagine that what happened to quality control? and it really needed a good set ,The music store got a new pickup and it,s fine now.

Fender 72 Telecaster Thinline Quality Rating: with the exceptions already mentioned everything else was fine great finish and hardware I must say that it,s one off the best looking guitars that fender makes

Review Summary: I have a another tele MIM and its great can,t say enoutgh good about it It,s solid as a rock but I believe the MIM guitars need tighter quality control so every guitar coming out of Mexico should exceed standards

Rating of this Fender product: 4
