Thanks for having me Jack, love the Thinline! And boy does yours sound great into that SRT 🙌 As you said, different but I think both of ours retain that similar shelved bass character that I associate with Thinlines.
Absolutely, thanks for joining! I totally agree.
Function and fashion. My Thinlines are my favorite of all my guitars.
My two G&L Asats are semi hollow body just like the Fender thinlines and they're great.
Great episode Jack! I love the airiness of these guitars, they are something special.
Thanks for creating the video and then sharing it, Great job!
Those of us out here in the real world that have Thinlines love to see thee kind of “confirmations “ that prove we made a smart choice. I love them so much that I have 4 different models. If you’re reading this and you don’t have a Thinline, get one ! They are awesome 😎
Finally, someone who showcases clean tones!
I have two Thinline Telecasters models, one a G&L Asat Classic and the other a Grote GT-150 and they are my favorite guitars out of around 25 other choices. What I like is that they are Tele's they are small bodied and being semi-hollow provides ample unplugged volume under certain conditions which make them both comfortable and loud enough to play unplugged in bed at night. They are also comparatively light in weight.
In my experience with the right amp and also some pedals I can pretty much make any electric guitar sound the way I want it to for each time I play it.
Unplugged if a guitar is loud enough to play during the quiet night time hours then that's all I want. The semi-hollowbody Thinline Teler's provide just enough volume unplugged to allow me to enjoy them and their acoustic tone. The fact that they are also small and light weight making them very comfortable to play hours at a time makes them my first choice.
I have many larger semi-hollowbody guitars and even several Hollowbody as well as many solidbody electric guitars and they all have a place, but boy my Thieline Tele's models are my choice so much more often than any of the others.
My Fender Telecaster has my favorite neck out of all my guitars and my Thinline Telecasters are the models that come the closest to replicating that wonderfully comfortable neck and that counts a lot toward their playability as well. - Peter age 72
Excellent review of the ThinLine
I think you are spot on about the tone snd how it differs from the standard tele.
Great playing and guitar sounds awesome!
I have had a 72 thinline tele deluxe reissue since 2006 and it’s still my favorite instrument. Great tone and gorgeous. Although the really vintage low radius and fat neck took some getting used to, after having played an Ibanez prior.
From Leo: I have a few Teles in various pickup configurations. My current favorite is a Charlie Christian neck. Your playing demo at 18:26 is clearly the Telecaster voice. Good demo / collaboration.
Very nice guitar! Thick neck though is a challenge for players with smaller hands. Thanks for showcasing this beautiful guitar!
GOOD JOB, WELL DONE
I use it for Jazz. I have a Squier Tele Thinline CV 60, it has superb sound for the price.
Sounding good, Jack
I played a Squier Thinline with an anodized scratchplate at GC the other day and (Lord) I wuz tempted...
That is a gorgeous guitar! I love how it has been maintained pristine as I am not a fan of relic. It sounds amazing.
Love thinlines. Sort of on yours and Tanner's train of thoughts. Bending the mold to our needs. I built a modern version. Pretty much like a CuNiFe 72. Natural color scheme and real CuNiFe humbuckers. But I modernized it. Four bolt neck, c shape, 10" radius, tall narrow stainless steel frets, locking tuners, modern medium nut width but gave myself extra edge string spacing so it is narrower. The body is essentially the same. Warmoth 72 ash body. Drop top vs bottom. Vintage width bridge. Anyways, it basically sounds like a 72 but it feels modern in the hands and is a lot more solid with a 4 bolt neck. Tuners are also very stable. Then I went way outside the box and built a mahogany walnut top thinline (hollow on bith sides and behind the bridge, were as a traditional thinline is just hollow on one side) with 59 PAFs and quarter sawn maple rosewood neck. 9-12 compound radius, stainless frets. Narrower hardtail bridge for gibson style humbuckers. Have to say that guitar is out of this world. Want to say it is like a 335 on steroids. Just an amazing blues jazz 70s rock prog kind of guitar. Owned 335s before. A thinline is more pure in my opinion (blows a 335 out of the water, IMHO). Because it is solid tone woods vs maple laminate plywood, but it still has all the semi hollow body qualities. Think you guys are right in that it is a very modifiable guitar that not a lot of people have really explored the endless possibilities of yet.
I have a red one and its one of my favs!
Nice sounding guitar.I'd like to pick Up Tanner.Great playing 2 brother.I like the last part of this video when you were playing . Very melodic sounding man!
When I was 14, I refinished an abandoned ‘57 Tele that my dad found in a pawnshop. The frets were worn out, it still had 50’s wiring,and it turned both of us off Tele’s. It wasn’t until 3 years ago, whenI heard some people getting beautiful tones out of Wilde Microcoil pickups, that I got the urge for a cheap tele to use with them. I liked the Squier CV 69 mahogany Thinlines best, but hated that skinny neck. Six months later, I completed a partscaster with that body, a fat roasted maple neck, microcoils, a 4-way switch and a piezo saddle setup. The feel, tones and light weight were so compelling that it became my #1 electric, and my beloved ‘09 PRS McCarty is long gone.
Love my 68🏄♂️
I love how your channel has blown up over the past few months. Could'nt happen to a better channel. And, as we all know, all the best picker's play Tele's!
You know the funny thing is, I was always primarily a Stratocaster player forever. Stratocasters and Gibson SGs. But I happened to be in a Tele phase when my channel really started getting more attention, so a lot of people came to know me as a Tele player. Now I'm having an existential gear crisis!
@@JackFossett lol. Just sayin...Doesent mean we can't love 'em all! I bought a Korean PRS 245 SE yesterday. I'm branching ito new territorry with a LP style.
I have a Squier Thinline, Chicago Music Exchange model, and I really like it. I appreciate that guitar more than my American Strat
really cool
i have a 2016 american elite thin line love it
i have a 2013 fender tele thinline select its a great guitar
How does the neck-pickup tone compare to the similar lipstick neck pu tone in a Danelectro? Same woody hollowness (which I remember from the one Dano I had decades ago)?
I still have my original 69 Thinline mahogany body my parents gave me many decades ago.
I've been subscribed to your channel for a while but when I got a new phone I had to start over.
The 'tone' you were talking about is exactly like the guitar arpeggio on street spirit fade out by radiohead
Damn straight it is underrated af lol I will own one one day I want the American Original 60s one
That neck tone you speak of is something I finally experienced when I tried the Yosemite pickups in my CV 50’s Tele. I no longer have the guitar but yikes those were a great tele set. I think the Yosemite’s are the best Fender branded tele set you can get.
Solid heavy ash bodies can be heavy. Hollow heavy ash bodies are more light--like swamp ash. But what can absence of heavy ash do to an electromagnetic pickup?
Nokie Edwards of The Ventures was a noted tele man.
I first noticed the Thinline Tele models during the 90s. It began with the film adaptation of the Commitments, in which Glen Hansard was the guitar player and is seen wielding a customized ‘72 model with the wide-range buckers. That film came out in 1991, and I saw it when it reached home media. Then when I was 15, I saw footage of Sly Stone playing the ‘69 version in that butterscotch finish mentioned by Tanner. While I was going through the second half of the decade and my teenage years with all these catalogs from miscellaneous instrument retailers, reissues of both the ‘69 and ‘72 renditions of the Thinline models materialized. An acquaintance of mine who ran an art gallery in a neighboring town to mine lent me his ‘69 in butterscotch for a recording session. Almost wound up purchasing it for myself, but I held back.
Since 2010, I’ve owned four different Telecaster models, a junky ‘72 Custom (from which I I learned that I really wasn’t a fan of the traditional Telecaster bridge pickup), a ‘72 Thinline, a homemade interpretation of the’72 Deluxe and (my current one) a Modern Player Thinline Deluxe. That one is loaded with soapbar P90s instead of either aforementioned pickup(s), and two things it’s got over the other models include individual pick up controls and a 22nd fret. Because of when it was on the market and the guitar I had at that moment, coupled with how much more affordable it was, I just waited myself from trying to get one. Now that I have it, I wonder where my head was at, since I like this one so much more than its three predecessors.
Thanks for the review… I‘d like to play one, but the one (clone) I tried hat serious head-dive. How is that with the current Tele thinline?
Never had that problem with any telecaster tbh
@@JackFossett Many thanks for the quick response!
have you ever tried out a PRS S2 Vela (semi-hollow)?
Actually no I haven’t, although I’m a big PRS fan
@@JackFossett it's got some tele-traits... fwiw. But some differences as well. Fun guitar. If you ever get a chance to play one I'd love to hear your review.
How Much Tha guitar
custom shop?
60s Thinline Telecasters sound nice; the 70s ones with Cunife humbuckers sound like ass.
Tasty playing btw.
Ren from The Big Push, is the best current tele player! Check The Big Push out and be blown away! The busking sessions are a modern music movement
The vibe I hear from Tele Thinlines, at least on the neck pickup, is a 335-like character.
What is the price off guitar fender telecaster thin líne
Brad Paisley said the real teles have the ashtray bridge lol
Telecaster thin line usada American
Pretty…😘
I’m happily married, thank you very much
Love the sound of a thinline. But the f hole looks weird. I d prefer a round hole.
I tend to agree, I prefer more traditional F Hole shapes, although I don’t find it off putting.
@@JackFossett I m always thinking that the Thinline looks a bit irregular or asymmetric. - But the sound really is great.
the pick guard shape is kind of funky too - I like it better on this style where you don't notice as much how the top end of the horn is cutoff.
@@JackFossett agree.
@@JackFossett have you played the Fender Jim Adkins Thinline with P90?
Function, there is actually a more pronounced difference when you don't paint the body grant it the characteristics are close, but wood choice itself becomes more apparent when you basically add a resonating chamber to the body. Plus there is a thing called micro tonal resonance that contributes to the sound of instruments
Please explain more please: Paint or no Paint / Choice of Wood. Thanks
@@brucedunston625 OK ,sure NP, this requires a bit of physics knowledge also recent classical music news. So in the classical world it had its foundations rocked by the knowledge that at the time Stratovarius and his apprentice made their violins in Italy there was a massive Worm infestation, they used a solution of Borax and other chemicals in mixture to prevent Worms from turning the Violins into food which was a problem at the time, This changed the properties of the wood making the instruments have a very specific sound that people can identify that have ear training in classical instruments, or know what to listen for.
With that out of the way, Physics, This may be a bit dry...........When you paint over wood or add chemicals that absorb into the pores of the wood, you are changing the surface properties of the wood into a much harder surface, by doing so, when you pluck a string mechanical energy comes off the string and radiates, as that energy hits the body it is absorbed and bounced back to the string the softer the surface the more absorption, the harder the surface the more reflection and reverberation(think a tuning fork), and refraction. Its kind of easier to understand this in terms of a studio where you have bass traps and Absorbtion foam on the walls and when you are playing you get no echo, or reverb in the room, whereas if you play in a room where you have painted over Dry wall and nothing to absorb the energy it ends up getting reflected all over the place. This is why Nitro Lacquered instruments that are vintage people say sound better as the finish is wearing off and cracking it essentially changing the physics of what is going on in terms of mechanical energy and where that energy is going, so there is something to that, is it worth the price rather than partially sanding off a finish that is up to you. Comparatively there are some, me included, that have a bit of an ear when it comes to fretboard materials where I can distinguish Maple finished fretboards from raw Ebony and Rosewood as the frequencies have changed same goes for frets as well, SS frets have a different sound versus old Nickle frets. You can also see this in acoustic guitars, you would need to talk more to luthiers/builder variety that talk about them as they, well are nerds about this and have a science to it but the more "decoration" is not a good thing on an acoustic particularly the top and you want a light bridge not a heavy one. Semi Holllow and Hollowbodies operate on several levels they make the instrument lighter, but they also have a hollowchamber that takes resonance and turns it into a projection of sound(it almost acts like an echo chamber making certain frequencies more pronounced tonally(and its made a bit more apparent in the fact that its the bare naked wood, not painted or treated, which is also why they have a major issue in regards to feedback(its why later versions of BB Kings Lucile had no F holes).
BTW this is all stuff that you can see on a graph with an analyzer or some recording software some of it is very very slight, but at the extremes there is a more pronounced difference, keep in mind the more distortion and the more gain the less pronounced the differences end up being.
I will also add a tidbit on this Ola England and his son actually did very very good testing on Neckthrough , set neck, and bolt on in regard to sustain, which honestly when you understand how mechanical energy of equal value cancels each other out, You basically don't want a neckthrough design not only will it cost you more but it cuts your sustain down, set neck and bolt on are very close but the Bolt on neck slightly has the most sustain.
For your question the answer would be no paint and no chemicals if you want the true characteristics of the wood itself/ Wood well TBH there is a reason why certain woods are used Mahogany and other traditional woods used work. It really doesn't matter perse, but I will say there are reasons why Richie Kotzen and such prefer Ash bodies with a Maple cap, and artists do have their favorites in regards to core woods used in the instruments construction.
Hand wired neck and bridge pickup?
...is that "special"?
I love Hollow telecasters. Especially the ones with the wide range humbuckers. You got to hear @BobcatOneManBand to hear a good Hollow body tone on a telecaster
Köprü çok kötü, her iki teli birbirine yakın entonasyon ayarı yapmak çok saçma, zaten saptan kaynaklı octav sorunları oluyor, inatla 3 lü köprü yapmaları gerçekten dolandiriciktan başka birşey değil.👎
