Fender Telecaster Thinline Reviews

On 2003-11-25, farmer burns rated this Fender Telecaster Thinline a 4...(6452)


Purchase: i got this unit at a local pawn shop for just under three hundred dollars and a old twelve (actually eleven) string Yamaha acoustic guitar.
Pros: It is light weight, has a beautiful finish, and a beefy neck that feels similar to my gibson acoustic. I love the playability of the guitar. The pickup choices offer a great range of choice with the dual humbuckers, and it sounds great when playing with a single coil guitar. A very hsarp looking, easy to handly guitar with a solid feel to it. Some of the maple wood used to build this guitar is flat out beautiful.
Cons: in regards to the actual feel and sound of the guitar, there is not much to dislike.
Quality: I had some struggle getting the action set correctly. a part of the problem is the constrction, the bridge is not 'set; as well as it should have been during construction and the screws holding the pickguard down had rusted. The body has already developed a slight crack around the neck, i am not certain how the initial owner had handled the guitar though, so it may have been from misuse, but some parts of the guitar seem to have been assembled quickly and without a lot of care.

Review Summary: A great guitar if it can be found at a reasonable price, but it has some structural weaknesses. Looks and sounds pretty sweet though.
